Wing Mfg. B-17
Hi all. I was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with the Wing Mfg. B-17.
I bought one at Toledo a couple of years ago and it is next in line for the work bench.
It was my plan to use it as "training wheels" before I go totally overboard and get a Don Smith B-17.

Mike:
A Wing B-17 is rather more complicated that I would think appropriate for "Training wheels," but to each his own.
If you mean also that this is your first multi, you might consider a twin instead of quad engines first.
And there are many "First twin" type threads here, check any of them.

Wing B-17
Hi Bill, thanks for replying to my post. Good advice is always welcome.
"training wheels" ment 1st B-17. I was just looking for someone who had
built one of the wing kits.
Maybe I should have posted in the kit forum. but I figured in the
multi-engine forum I was bound to run into one.

Your post would have been fine either here or in Kits, I agree that you'll more probably get a usable response here. If you want to try Kits I'll move it for you - let me know. I'm moderator in both.
I've been playing with twins about ten years, I have yet to do my first with three or more engines.
Hope you enjoy all of them.

Mike if you plan on using you wing B-17 as a trainer thats OKAY. But if you also plan on using it as a starter kit for scale then look at the nuesels they need a lot of work to get that scale look. I have one on the bench with the fuse framed up. Thats as far as I have gotten so far (other projects to do too) but plan on finishing it soon.
