My father was the navigator/bombadier on the 17's in WW2. He was the most decorated navigator in the Italian theater. He passed away almost 3 years ago at 96 years old and all of us kids knew nothing of his war record till he passed.
These guys are great!!!! I'm an ignorant American, I don't know much about accents... Which is this? Love it!!!! Even this American can get and enjoy the dry humor.
As a huge fan of the 8th USAAF and the B-17, this video made me extremely happy. I salute you, your flying, the model and the bomber boys who flew the real aircraft and to those that gave their lives for our freedom. Never forget.
Just found your test flight channel and cant stop watching, you both have inspired me to build and fly ,keep up the good work , and the entertainment Chris.
Robert never ceases to suprise me...he always flies such beautiful planes that one can only dream about....love his passion towards RC products👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautifully flown. The reason they quit painting them green, the green paint weighed 300 pounds. That meant 300 more pounds of fuel and it made them slightly faster without the paint. My dad built them under contract to Boeing, at Lockheed Burbank, California. along with P-38s.
A very nice plane and an awesome maiden flight, and a successful landing. I recon you have enjoyed many flights since. You got an awesome deal for that aircraft as well. Thank you for the video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! 🙂
Hi Brothers, I just found this video today. Looks to be a nice plane. Seeing it reminded that we lost our local B-17 of at least the past 30 years, about two months ago. It was named " Texas Raiders ". No more will it pass overhead. Nor will the P-63 that cut it in half. I hope that your planes do not crash. " Hey! "
Really a great flight. Now it is plain to see why the smooth runway you use now is so much better for the small to medium wheels, especially on a heavy model. I hope to see it fly again now that maybe 2 years have passed. It is a beauty!
I got to see this fine B-17 at a air show in Jacksonville Arkansas a few years ago. You know it crash landed not too long ago safely but burned up on the ground a few minutes later. I get a kick out of you guys liking this RC kit. Thank you for sharing.
AMIGOS, CAPITAN ROBERT Y CAPITAN BLAZ, DESDE COLOMBIA RECIBAN UN GRAN ABRAZO, QUIERO FELICITARLOS POR SU CANAL Y SUS VIDEOS, SON INCREIBLES Y CREO QUE LO QUE MAS ME GUSTA VER ES EL ENTUSIASMO QUE USTEDES PONEN EN CADA UNO DE SUS VUELOS.
Hey James. Its Slovenian humor ;) Thanks for kind words. We really love planes and we want to show to the world how beautiful this hobby is. But in a little different way. The fun way and with a lot of babbling ;) Greetings from Slovenia, Robert
What a presence in the air! I salute you for this successful flight. I would have never guessed that this thing ends up in the air after seeing the starting difficulties.
You guys crack me up! Nice flying and the commentary is hilarious! My uncle flew one with the 8th airforce during WWII. Beautiful plane. Great job and good day!
Hahahah LMAO!! 4:26 "Where they found a zippo lighter still on after 70 years" Uncle Albert OFAH 3:45 - the story begins:D You guys are the best, keep it on! Cheers
Your outright love of RC flight is infectious! So is your humor! Love the videos. Keep them coming. The camera work, flying and most important, flying conditions were all outstanding! You live in a beautiful area of the world and sharing your passion for flying is a very nice way to see the world! Salute! Carl the cgul
That was so awesome, such an amazing aircraft with a lot of history, my great uncle, Wilbur Richardson was a belly turret gunner on a B-17 during WW2. The stories he had told us are priceless, thank you and keep up the good work......
When they are nose heavy, give it up elevator Robert. It is a beautiful plane. Some of the Warbirds, the CG is close to the wheels which make them nose heavy or tip forward on take off and landings. Just give them up elevator and ease off as it takes off and lands. What a great flight Robert and as always great camera work from Capt. Blaz! Love your video's and humor! Also, beautiful country!
Like you said Rick. The problem was the holes on our runway. But now that we have fixed our runway maybe its time to see this baby in the air once more. I really love this plane and it is such a good flyer... Cheers my friend, Robert
Awesome looking airplane and great flying! I wasn't really worried about the outcome of the flight. I was more concerned about the pilot flying and Captain camera man coming to blows before takeoff.🤣
You guy's are totally amazing Robert, My Brothers and i sure enjoy watching you guy's make total fun of this sport, as avid modelers we tend to forget how much fun this sport really is, Thank you and Captain Blush very much for re-igniting the fun in model airplane flying and building.... It would be so much fun to be there in person on the same flying field with you too brothers....
This was a GREAT video. There was a point where you were making a climbing right turn with the sunset to the rear, where the sun was glinting off of the fuselage and the back of the rotating props. It looked so scale !! You guys make me want to go out a buy every plane you fly. You have sooo much fun. Thank you for these great vids. I'm loving it !! Blue sky's ...
A great video and a fabulous plane. I have one and yet to maiden. Having seen this video it has given me the need to get mine in the air. Thanks for your great channel👍👍👍
Beautiful.model. I was able to see someone fly a scratch built B 17 one time. Took him years to build but beautiful. Oh has engines, actually little radial engines that sounded beautiful and it was a bit bigger. Awesome though both of them. Congrats
Robert, I am so happy for you that everything went well! I had this plane in balsa new in box but sold it along with a few others from a collection. This guy retired and sold his planes done built some in the box. My father flew in a B-17 but I was scared to fly it do I didn't build it. I wish more that I had. I kept a 1600 mm P-40e Flying Tiger. 2 1/2 months later it was ready to fly
I converted my Flying Tiger from gas to electric using a 6s 5000 pack. I think converting the B-17 to electric would be too heavy, but you're right it's a beautiful plane
I'm sure you two work but it would be the best job in the world to be able to fly every day for the job. Guess that's where guys like pilot Ryan from Motion rc have it made
I just now found this video guys, from 2017, no matter it so sweet nice plane clean looking. The B-17 my favorite war bird bomber thanks to you guys again again for sharing. ..Capt. Robert awesome landing and Capt. Blaz, you videoed so well it looked like the real plane on landing...it really did..
Oh yeah Chuck. I also love this plane. And I got it for a very good money. Its second hand but amazing. And I wolud really love to see this bird in real someday. We can only dream about that in my country... Cheers my friend, robert
My father was the navigator/bombadier on the 17's in WW2. He was the most decorated navigator in the Italian theater. He passed away almost 3 years ago at 96 years old and all of us kids knew nothing of his war record till he passed.
Nice flying you guys are entertaining 👍🥂

Love the way you fly that big iron and float it through the ground effect to a rolling stall at 0 altitude.
Big thumbs up from the USA!!! Loved your vid,,, You two are my kind of people! Would love to hang out at the field with you guys!!
Very interesting that a b17 made a emergency landing in ww2 near your place and and over 50 years later you fly this beautiful plane
Great flight
You made this plane look awesome, with the scale flight,shiny metal color,and beautiful setting sun. I want one to! Ha ha.
I don know why but I want to call you Yuri. And say, Yuri, you are good pilot. Salute comrad. For first flight jitters, you nailed it. Hats off.
The dynamic between you two is comical and very entertaining. The plane looks great. Great video men!
Man O Man What a Sound that Plane Has and it is a Fast one too.... Nice Piloting Robert.
Very beautiful where you guys live.
That was fantastic. Landing and all. The plane looked so real, most of the time.
I still have this baby. And also the olive color one waiting to be assembled and then maiden flight.
Czech humor and good times. These two are a hoot. Pretty good filming and piloting as well.
Hey James. Its Slovenian humor ;) Thanks for kind words. We really love planes and we want to show to the world how beautiful this hobby is. But in a little different way. The fun way and with a lot of babbling ;) Greetings from Slovenia, Robert
Landings don't get any better than that one. Nicely done.
Man once it got into the air it became Majestic! Those four motors and the way she flies, really nice. Thanks!

What a presence in the air! I salute you for this successful flight. I would have never guessed that this thing ends up in the air after seeing the starting difficulties.

Love this plane. Grew up with 5 of them in my area. They were used By the Aero Union Corperation for fire fighting.
Wow looked like the real thing flying around! Beautiful aircraft
Really worth every cent my friend. And HobbyKing still sells this baby.
Wow. This is so amazing. You 2 were well entertaining. I going to buy myself a b17 from HobbyKing.
A wonderful flight of this superb plane . Top marks to the cool Pilot .. Greetings from New Zealand .
A couple of friends just out having a great time. Love it!

Amazing flying Pilot Robert! Captain Blaz is the engine Doctor and Pilot Robert is the flying Doctor!!! Beautiful plane by the way.
Beautiful.model. I was able to see someone fly a scratch built B 17 one time. Took him years to build but beautiful. Oh has engines, actually little radial engines that sounded beautiful and it was a bit bigger. Awesome though both of them. Congrats
Perfect flying.

I like what you guys are doing, not only is it entertaining but educational too. Your humble follower, CapnMick
