Now this is a very ambitious project, a 1/3rd scale B17 fitted with 4 Hirth engines.

More info can be found on Google.

 

Apart from his building skills, I recon he must have a healthy bank balance, or did have, before the building commenced.

Thanks Rob

Truly amazing project - I have been following it for years and he recons it will be ready to fly by early next year. Can you imagine getting two engines out on one side ? EEEKK....

Not a lot of room, so the Misses has to stay at home while you have fun:ecstatic:

 

That's a bit tough!

Work of art. Even if it never flies, what an accomplishment building it.

Very nice. The cameraman may have thought he was being artistic but all the odd angles & upside down stuff & jiggling with the music just seemed to me to stuff it up.

Oh .. I thought he was going to use the F23 Hirths and that gives him 180-200hp ... he has fitted the Hirth 3002 and that gives him closer to 340hp ... now that's more like it ;-)

Me too, it puts the RV build in a whole different light when you see someone with the skills to produce such a beautiful product from scratch.The ultimate question though is what will he drop out of the bomb bay? Cans of Budweiser, or maybe fill it with lollies for the ultimate Christmas lolly drop!
