That landing was just great. Love it. And the bird survived to see another day. Oh yeah... I just love B17. Great, great plane... Greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
its a shame Pilot Mitch aka grave digger is not having much luck lately, but am sure he will be back to top form very soon as will the B17 be . Cheers Pilot Simon
Over all I'm so glad there wasn't major damage .. those cam shots looked great ..infact I was watching saying to my self i gotta get me one of those .. that looks really scale .. Did a discharged/used lipo get put in by mistake .. I have bashed a few that way ..
I noticed that you didn't cut out around the guns in the chin turret to let cooling air into the cooling duct in the fuselage under the chin turret. Look up the Hobby King review and build with Stuart th-cam.com/video/xGluQx6WUvw/w-d-xo.html That might help cool things down abit - good luck, nice bird.
Fantastic bomber Sir. I've always liked this beast. You flew her well. Kudos!

yep its not good when a bird goes down, but like you say the sea saved the body no damage only electrical, looks like a bad esc
Damn!! Was the ESC burning? That things a lot bigger than I thought (and don't anyone say "That's what she said"... LOL!).
Lauren Robison haha funny you say that but that’s what she said 😂🤣 yip the esc let off some smoke signals 👍✈️👍✈️
Hehe Mint video !
you are not supposed to laugh Mitch its your model hahaha
ESC overheat?
So it's been a while now. Did she ever fly again? What needed replacing?
its been fixed but has not visited the beach yet
HI - Hope the B17 will be salvageable - did you look into why the battery only lasted a few minutes and died like that ? -
yep , sadly the battery that was fitted was not charged 😪 i sold this model to a friend so i felt really bad for him, such a nice model

ah what a shame, was there much salt water inside the plane? Motors + ESCs will be toast, retracts, servos... nasty.
not sure yet mate . but it does look like a bad esc that caused the problem
Steve W I managed to put my Teksumo wing in the sea and only lost an esc. All fpv gear and receiver were OK fortunately.
