Are you a fan of 'Masters of the Air'? Such an important story, and this giant scale RC B-17 brings it to life! Built and flown by Ryon Lockhart from a heavily modified Bob Holman plan, it took about 4 years to complete. This beauty is fiberglassed, finished with Flite Metal, and powered by four Saito 91 four-stroke engines. So nice! #mastersoftheair #rcplanes #scalemodel #aviationgeek #aviationlovers #B17flyingfortress #flyingfortress | The RC Geek
