B-17G 3D Printed R/C Model Maiden Flight

I maidened the B-17 on Sunday morning, with a 10mph wind, slightly quartering across the runway. Here are the highlights:
1. Final flying weight of 5460 grams (192.6 oz)
2. The power setup is more than enough and likely pulls between 5400g - 5800g of thrust
3. Balance was great with two 4S 5000mah batteries mounted all the way up front, and the ESC's mounted as far forward in the nacelles as possible.


The take-off roll was less than expected and she only needed a few clicks of down trim, no aileron or rudder trim needed.

I got some good chase video and a still camera on the ground which I will include in my final video. I'll likely do a few more flights this week to capture more video and I'll have a final YouTube video published next week.

Thanks to you all for following along with my build progress thus far. I'm so excited for a successful maiden!
