You should use both smoke bombs. Gray smoke simulates lesser damage, like a radiator leak or fuel leak. So make it go first. Black smoke simulates fire and more serious damage, so it goes last.
@@Next0mancer No it isnt, there is no speed boost (which there should be if it is sped up) Since it isnt sped up in the beginning because the crowd is reacting normally.
Absolute beauty. Gramps did his tour over Europe as a belly gunner and he would tell me his stories of battle and how (Big ass bird) would always bring her boys back home I have to say I’m 57 now and all them stories came flooding back in my memories as I watched this beautiful bird take flight and I cried like I was 10 again when Gramps made his final flight home. Thank you so much for capturing the spirit of the bravery that took place during those days of uncertainty. This one holds a special place in my heart.
True but for when it isn’t being flown, it would make it look so much more realistic. Same with adding a retractable landing gear. Still looks great tho.
It’s beautiful guys!!! My dad,,, and I’m sure many many more WW2 vets would have been so very proud of you guys for what you have accomplished! Really love it!
I have loved every second of this B17 build series. You guys are doing EXACTLY what I've always wanted to do and have not had the opportunity to do yet. You are making so many dreams come true. I can't wait to have the resources and time to join this community and come to Flite Fest. Thank you so much for sharing all your passion, talents, and energy with this community!
i had an amazing time at flight fest 2022 ..drove 12 hours from Massachusetts and actually got to meet and talk to Josh Bixler who has had an amazing impact on my life ..this hobby saved me from a bad addiction and depression and thanks to the flight test guys I found this hobby and filled that void 5years clean and still going ..FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU GUYS...can't wait till next year
I met Josh Bixler myself a few years ago at the Edgewater flight Park. I got to have an impromptu tour of the Big White Barn. He was so down to earth and friendly. He said it's not really about the airplanes although that is really fun , but it's about getting families together, and that is the ministry of it. That's the main thing that stuck with me about meeting Josh.
It was a definite treat to see this amazing airplane at Flite Fest, both up close and in the air. It’s truly an amazing build, and I wish you guys many happy flights with it!
That was pretty slick. You guys and the pentric bros are reason why I started this hobby. The enthusiasm. I recently had a bunch of stuff stolen so I have been really disheartened about flying. But this hobby did something I never thought would happen, after 25 years of me and my step father basically hating each other, this hobby has created a bond between us I would never had expected. It's like we are friends now. This hobby is something special, I'm hoping to get back to flying soon.
I've been watching the channel for a long time, and this feels like a beautiful progression from tentatively taking those first few flights, right up till you get that one rc model you've always wanted.
Absolutely beautiful plane. The realistic look it had when it was flying was awesome. Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful warbird to life. Awesome job. God bless all the young men that flew aboard these beautiful and strong girls. God bless those who did not make it back and God bless you and your team for keeping their memory alive.
1987 my instructor at the Memphis Aviation School let me help build the flap for the Memphis Belle. My salute to the crew who flew her so well to be the first to complete 25 missions over The Germans. People have no idea how much it meant to me to have such an honor. Thank God for our brave men and women who fought so hard for our freedom in impossible situations during WW2. Thank You!
Awesome build! The epic looks of this warbird just heightens the honor you built this for the recognition of those members of the greatest generation who manned those bombers back in World War 2. A great plane honoring great men!
TO THE BRAVE MEN OF BOMBOOGIE, THANKYOU Sirs and thank you guys for your educational family-friendly channel its rarer on the platform than you might think, this channel runs the gambit of ages from 5 to 105 well done the whole team past and present
That is the coolest thing I have seen ya'll build so far! I love how Jason (Jason was flying it right?) was so pumped after sticking the landing, but he kept his composure the whole time! Great job everyone! Thank you for all your videos! I hope to make it to Flitefest soon!
I used to hold spray paint can upside down to bleed the pressure and than use a can opener on the side and pour the paint out of the spray can. I found that method to be less messy than spraying it into a cup like you did...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Let just take a moment and give these guy a applause. Yall did a excellent job on B-17. Flies like a real thing. And that's the crowd pleaser, and they love it. That's what Radio Control is all about. Fun!!
I have a suggestion to make: You should add sound to an airplane. I model railroad. It’s fun and all, but the sound adds a touch of realism. I haven’t seen it done on many modern rc planes, I think it would be a great challenge to add sound to an airplane, wether it be the b17 or some other scale airplane. You could fit a decently large/heavy speaker in a larger airplane. You could hook it up to a voltage reader or something and when the airplane throttles up, then would increase the audible rpms. Would be cool to see the results.
Sound systems are out there for them, but there's no replicating the deep bass tones that aircraft make. The only thing that really comes through audibly in the air is treble, so it doesn't sound very realistic.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper exactly. Put a sub or two on there, i think the fuselage could at least incorporate a 6” at 400w rms or something, would be interesting to see how they run an amp.
Gas engines would pretty much do it. It won't sound exactly like a real one, but gas engines sound A LOT more realistic. Unfortunately, they can also be A LOT more dangerous.
I'm curious to know what kind of construction techniques could be used to create a sub enclosure that was both light enough and rigid enough to have a good response to hear from the air. The thought of dropping a traditional particle board and felt carpet box in a lightweight foam fuselage seems like the antithesis to their goals. Moki radials are the closest thing to replicate an actual aircraft engine, but they really don't have that deep droning sound that's characteristic of a full scale radial except when at idle. In flight they sound more like tiny V-12's being revved to death (which sounds absolutely fantastic on their own, but totally out of place for a B-17). The more conventional OS style twins and whatnot do have a realistic engine sound...as in real weed eaters flying through the air. That just breaks all the realism for me, hearing a couple chainsaws flying in close formation. I'd rather just hear the props from an electric motor...they're quiet by comparison but achieve a similar tonal effect to real aircraft if you listen really close or buzz yourself.
My uncle was a bombardier on a B-17 bomber during World War II..... I'm 71 now...... Also a Veteran of Vietnam (70-71) and Iraq ( 04-05) Wars . I was a door gunner UH-1 helicopter in Nam with the 118th AHC .... And in Iraq worked on AH-64A Apache attack helicopter for the 1/151Aviation Regiment..... Retired from the Army
Seeing that fly made me so emotional. All the work and expertise that went into it. When it was up in the sky, you couldn't tell if it was a model or "the real thing". Great job guys 👏 👍
Tremendous. The pain job, and honoring a storied craft, takes it to a whole new level. I really hope the smoke system only simulates damage, not doing any.
Maybe have a switch on the transmitter to enable "damaged engine mode" So when an engine gets hit it that engine will spool down and or stop providing thrust
The only thing i'd have done to this awesome bad boy is to have painted the props the original Hamilton - Standard colors for authenticity to fit in with the rest of the paint job. You can even get the original Hamilton - Standard prop decals.
I think you need a PBJ-1D now. My grampa was a tail gunner with the VMB-413 Shamrocks. Great work, btw. It looks very convincing! Have you considered adding a loud speaker behind each prop, that reproduces the sounds of each of the Wright R-1820's? (Directly behind the props, next the the motors, and facing forward, so the prop affects the engine sound, just like with the real plane.)
I could just feel the tension on the landing ...big plane lots of work went into it ..I would be under a lot of stress ..he did a great job flying and landing it
You're missing some weathering on top of the wing. B-17s had exhaust ports on top of the wings behind the engines and those would get dirty too. Other than that, it's an amazing B-17. Keep up the great work
There are actually not exhaust ports on the top of the wing. Those are air vents to vent air in the wing, (like fuel vapor). It is the #1 most incorrect thing on B-17 builds... and these guys did it right by not putting it on there ;-)
What an incredible build this has been. Thank you so much for sharing! A couple of my uncles flew in the B-17 during WWII. It was so awesome to see this one fly.
I consider each and every one of you guys an artist in your own right. Your work and the bomber was and is phenomenal! If you've ever watched the movie Babe you will understand this with a chuckle; "That'll do pig, that'll do.. "
Just kind of an idea, why dont u just use like airsoft mechaboxes for the turrets, it would be much easier to do than fireworks and u can reuse it or repair it easily, the only thing is it would not do much dmg, but it would look cooler and if some kind of mechanism would be hitten, the the fall of from sky would look cooler too (sorry for mistakes, Czech Republic)
As a big fan of WWII planes, the B-17 is my favorite bomber ever built. This thing is amazing, great job!!!! Not sure if I would be able to fly that with all the people watching on a re maiden. No pressure. lol
WOW! So cool how much & how far Flite-Test crew(s) have gone, grown & continue to grow! Pushing the absolute limits of the fun & passion in ALL sectors/niches of the entire aerial DIY RC aircraft world! Always continue to amaze & inspire. Including especially ME! Awesome job guys!
Are there any plans to give it functional bombing doors? You could use those impact activated "Snaps" or "Pops" for kids on a slide to make them drop similarly to how the long bomb runs on those would be like? It would be super cool to see more functionality on such an awesome project that might already have the space for it.
OMG....she is stunning, amazing paint job and weathering, the detail is outstanding. She is so scale and majestic in flight, great work from all involved. I absolutely love this plane
Hello flite test my name is Parth Apturkar from India🇮🇳 I never coment on an singal video but when I see this video I am shocked that how beautiful this plain is and by the way I love flying plain and plains landing flying . I was shocked that how huge is this plain and can you make a simple basic plain video plz plz and good job 👏👏
I found the best way to get paint out of the can is to spray through a drinking straw just hold the straw against nozzle and press cuts down on the paint mist going over your fingers hope this helps you guys great video .... excellent paint work on the B-17
This thing is awesome. Love it. The paint job is incredible. It will be indistinguishable from the real one with a close up and without the sound. Congrats on your work.
Hey guys, don’t know if you will see this, but an idea for the Fort. Paint the props to match those of a B-17 Fortress. The wood props take away from the beautiful paint job guys.
Yea right scammer, get a life, a real job and quit tryna scam people outta their hard earned money. I see these comments all the time on different yt channels and their videos.
Fantastic project. I was able to fly in the B-17, Aluminum Overcast back in the late 80’s. It was incredible. Watching this project come together with all you talented individuals,,, I have to say that this too is incredible.
Great stuff the continuation or progression of this is, A VR headset & camera in the pilots seat. Then to scale piston engines & maybe working turrets. It amazes me the skill & technology able to do this.
You should use both smoke bombs. Gray smoke simulates lesser damage, like a radiator leak or fuel leak. So make it go first. Black smoke simulates fire and more serious damage, so it goes last.
I thought so too
Well they said I should be reusable, so next time hopefully they can do more smoke.
Also have to consider the amount of weight that it would add it would be another 4 smoke bombs might be too much
Agreed
@@bawbup7763 they did say the props are underpowered for the aircraft so they could get more power with larger props.
My Grandfather (Col. Raymond Brown) was a B-17 pilot during WWII. I joined the military because of him. He would have loved this video.
That’s cool 😊
Amen❤️🙏
I salute to you, and your grandfather. I am in the marine corps.
Mine father was a B-17 pilot and he would have been amazed at this video if he were alive today. Good work guys!
He watched it through your eyes. I bet he’s proud of you.
That looks awesome! I'm really excited to see the next video.

Next I'll find Brandon Herrera on a Brewstew video. 😂
@@zer0deaths862 if that ever happens im buying a lotto ticket
Because of the speed it is flying at - this is one of the most realistic B-17 models I've seen! It looks perfect in the air.
Very scale speeds for sure
they sped the footage up lol, irl it was quite slow
@@Horizon-m3l the footage is sped up lol
@@Next0mancer No it isnt, there is no speed boost (which there should be if it is sped up)

Of all the incredible craft you guys have built this is, in my opinion, your greatest achievement. It's incredibly realistic visually and in flight.
Absolutely love your energy JB. A true role model for aeromodelling.
I believe the extra weight from all the paint makes her fly more Gracefully and Scale-like and having more stability as well.. Very Nice!!
I didn't know if it was that, or just the looks of the paint job. But that thing did look good in the air.
the footage was sped way up.
Beautiful build! Top marks, so jealous!
Next up, get some scale prop paint and spinners... knowing you boys it probably won't last that long!!👍🇬🇧
My dad was a huge RC plane guy and I was flying planes back in the early 80's he would have loved this Channel.

Tremendous. The pain job, and honoring a storied craft, takes it to a whole new level. I really hope the smoke system only simulates damage, not doing any.
Yeah, I'm not interested in seeing them fire a potato cannon at this thing.
Maybe have a switch on the transmitter to enable "damaged engine mode"
So when an engine gets hit it that engine will spool down and or stop providing thrust
Hope the smoke bombs don’t catch the foam on fire. Great job to all that have worked and sponsored this project. God Speed 👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Wrapped in kevlar/nomex cloth, they wouldn't.
@@DetroitMicroSound Wow, that's awesome :) I was wondering this myself
@@DetroitMicroSound good ! I would hate it to get damaged !!!
I mean- That would be my solution. Maybe make kevlar or nomex composite tubes to accept the smoke bombs, that are reloadable.

Would have liked to see the props painted in metallic silver…but what a beauty!
Or flat black with yellow tips would be correct.

My dad was a 23 year old B-17 pilot during WWII. He would have loved watching this video. R.I.P . Dad.
Wow! You guys really outdid yourselves with the B-17! Great work! And those painting tips were fantastic!
Every once in a while, I have to point out David Cutters music. "Parts" just never gets old!
Great work Jason, great work drone pilot following. Got some really great shots
Great stuff the continuation or progression of this is, A VR headset & camera in the pilots seat. Then to scale piston engines & maybe working turrets. It amazes me the skill & technology able to do this.
