Counter-rotating props make zero torque, smooth take off's, the order of the day and with pre-fitted split flaps, landings are also stress-free.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBut it's the attention to detail on this version that is impressive.  Panel lines have been reduced and two new accurate scale color schemes are now available.  Olive drab\/grey and overall silver. These two schemes represent the vast majority of B-17's that went into action and as an additional feature, we've also included a choice of two 8th Air Force decal sets for each color scheme as well as an optional chin turret so that you can create either an early \"F\" or later \"G\" variant. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As a Flying Fortress, our model also bristles with guns, with top and ball turrets as well as tail, nose, and waist gun positions.  Dummy Wright Cyclone engines are finished with three-blade counter-rotating scale props and hubs and finally, working navigation \u0026amp; landing lights add to the overall realism level of this impressive model.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Beneath the surface, our B-17 has been beefed up with additional wing bracing and of course, she has been test flown extensively and it's in the air that this model really comes into its own.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e You will be struck at how easy it is to fly, almost like a powered glider at times and even though it's more than capable of performing non-scale aerobatics including loops and rolls, it is at slower speeds that it looks every bit the heavy bomber.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith its impressive wingspan, low passes translate into a real presence in the air and the sound of those four props driving it forward just adds to the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOur B-17 is a scale pilot's dream model. It's a big airplane that looks great, flies beautifully, and definitely has the \"wow\" factor that will have heads turning wherever and whenever you fly it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scale outline\u003cbr\u003e Authentic color scheme\u003cbr\u003e Choice of decals\u003cbr\u003e Optional chin turret for \"G\" variant\u003cbr\u003e Servoless retracts\u003cbr\u003e Flaps\u003cbr\u003e Operating navigation and landing lights\u003cbr\u003e Powerful 900Kv motors\u003cbr\u003e Counter-rotating props\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wingspan: \u003cstrong\u003e1875mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Length: \u003cstrong\u003e1350mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Flying Weight: \u003cstrong\u003e2750g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Motors:\u003cstrong\u003e 4 x 850kv Brushless Outrunner Motor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ESC: \u003cstrong\u003e4 x 20A ESC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Servos:\u003cstrong\u003e 6 x 9g Servo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Retracts: \u003cstrong\u003eElectric Servoless Retracts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequired:(Not Included)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 Channel Tx and Rx\u003cbr\u003e 2 x 3S 11.1V 2200mAh~3000mAh Lipoly Batteries\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top RC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48496864854237,"sku":"TOP073B","price":629.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/TOP073B.jpg?v=1788444480","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/top-rc-b17-pnp-rc-aircraft","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
