B-17 Flying Fortress Silver 1600mm (63") Wingspan from Freewing - FW30411P
This Freewing B-17 is one amazing plane to see in the sky and on the ground. Not only is the Freewing B-17 huge, but the scale looks, counter-rotating props, split flaps, and robust shock absorbing landing gear really attract attention. With way more than scale power, the Freewing B-17 is very agile for its size and the sound from the four 1350Kv motors cannot be beat. While assembly is simple, do be prepared to spend a few hours building the plane.
Features:
- Extreme scale details including machine gun turrets, clear nose canopy, authentic WWII color schemes, and retractable landing gear
- Large split flaps for short takeoffs and slow and smooth landings
- Servoless worm drive landing gear with shock absorbing struts
- Durable EPO foam construction
- Nylon hinges on all control surfaces (superior to a foam hinge)
- 4 Brushless motors, 4 ESC, and servos installed

Got er down only to find bad solder connection where dual wires feed ESCs on one side and some limb damage! In process of repairs now, she’ll fly again, flies flawlessly and realisticly but waiting on new cowlings to come! She’s an oldie but out of all my planes , the most easy one to fly after getting over the fearof multi engines and size!

The problem is that I cannot get spare parts for it. Looks as if I have to purchase the entire airplane for a set of props. That will not be happening. Other than that I would have given it a five star review.
