This bomber was introduced to WWII by the Americans, and is best known for it's daytime raids against the German homeland. Often accompanied by an escort of P-51D Mustangs, the B-17 struck fear into the hearts of many Germans. This model flies very well. The wings are slightly floppy, but they do not interfere with flight and only wiggle under high-G maneuvers.

621 timeisimaginaryflies very well and is very stable. I would give it five stars if it took off without dropping. What I mean by this is that when you first try to lift off, it starts to go up and then drops back to the runway after it gets a few feet off of the ground.9.7 years ago
