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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 must say I've painted Autos in the 70s when lacquer was a thing to airbrush art for galleries in New York. Very nice paint job done on this classic

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 "Square J". 390th 570th was my father's group. He was co-pilot on the "X" plane. Nice to see that replicated. Thanks for sharing.

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.

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 guys have outdone yourselves. I am a great-grandson of an Army Air-Corp pilot who lost brothers in a B-17 and ended up as a dc-2 and dc-3 transport pilot in the pacific campaign. That aircraft means a lot to my family and thank you for doing her justice.

Mega awesome for sure! But no retracts?! A suggestion in the "looks" department: Color the trailing edge of the wing, to de-emphasize the stark white "cliff" look. And maybe some scale(ish) prop hubs.
