This is very cool. I am planning a B 24 build for 2025 and want to do a similar set up. I’m doing a corsair build with a working prop in lights right now. But where do you get the circuitry for the slow start up and I think in another video I saw you have sound? Do you make it yourself or do you buy from someplace?
@BearstowsBarnstormers 21 күн бұрын
Your Corsair sounds really cool. I have a couple of videos on how I set up the B-17. It's all programmed into an Arduino that was set up with the slow startup. I have videos on the circuitry used and I have a link to a reddit post with my code. If you have any additional questions feel free to drop a comment after you've taken a look at those videos!

Texas Raiders would visit the Father's day airshows in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. Home of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Was on board in 1982 and bought a 1/48 Monogram B-17G with a picture holding the model with TR behind me. Forty years later returned to the hobby and finished the model in bare metal despite having bought '909' B-17G decals shortly after buying the model in 82. It was within a few months completing the model that 909 crashed. The other B-17s that visited, Aluminum Overcast, Fuddy Duddy and Sentimental Journey. Waiting for the 1/35 Border Models B-17G to see if it is worth building. Examples of my models are on my channel. I have subscribed.

I really want to get up to that museum to see their Lancaster. I built 909 back in 2017 not long before her crash. TR will be going next to 909 at my office once I get the antenna wire in to finish her. Sentimental Journey flew over me a couple of months ago on my way up to Philadelphia to see the USS NJ in dry dock. It was a very cool experience! Thank you for the subscribe!

@@BearstowsBarnstormers Our house is in a return pattern location about twenty miles from the airport so we have the Lancaster and other warbirds fly close or over the house sometimes. My mom and her family lived in London, England during the blitz and later moved to a safer location. She likes seeing the Lancaster and we have plans to take her to the museum soon. Always wanted to go to Dayton Ohio to see the B-36 and the last to be decommissioned Skyraider. Love to visit the New Jersey and the Elco PT boat if it is still there. Watched the videos of the moving NJ to dry dock.

I dealt with most of the injector sites that are visible from the outside of the aircraft. The B-17 is a bit of an odd duck build in my opinion as there is room for a lot of interior detail but almost none of it is visible from the outside of the aircraft. This kit also has a lot of injector points so I wouldn't be surprised if I made a mistake and missed a couple somewhere.
