Looks great, and only 4.5lbs. wow! How many watts are you pulling?

Boy you must have a big 'indoors'.

A beautiful ship, but then I am a little biased, I have an electric 100" B17, and definitely not for indoors.

Having only recently got more involved in depron my mind is seeing more and more ways of adding 'lightness' to a model.
I try to stick to the principle of, 'build to survive flight', not 'build to survive anything', and you have truly mastered it there.

Congratulations.

Thanks for your comments, Guys. :D

minitelemaster, Axi 2204 54 motor max load is 6amps. The B-17 will cruise around on half throttle at 84 watts or full throttle at 168 watts.

eflightray, A good friend (sr71fan) taught me to build to fly, not to crash.
To fly indoors you have to keep that in mind. Counting grams makes a big difference.

Be sure and check the build thread link. I'll be posting the build process and specs. :cool:

Thanks, Komet!

I haven't tried flying it outside yet. Because it has such a light wing loading it would have to fly in zero wind. If I get a nice evening, I might have to give it a try and get some nice outdoor video.
