This is my first B-17 in german variant. The controls are sensitive, so if you turn of AG-8, you have to keep it stable, when the aircraft becomes unstable, engage the AG-8 ASAP before crashing!

@Flash0of0green dont worry i will do it again
@enzoBoeing757 i only ask kuz blueprints, diagrams and pictures are supper helpful when doing replica builds.
@Flash0of0green yes i tried copying the blueprints, too bad it wasn't same, but happy about it.
@enzoBoeing757 did you have a diagram or picture?
@Flash0of0green sorry, its my first B-17
@enzoBoeing757 way too small to be mistook for a B-17, but cool build.
@Tums thanks!
