This is cool, a 1/3 scale manned B-17.  NOT R/C.

Dunno when its supposed to fly but it looks almost done.

Not sure if 340hp will be enough considering the full size plane had between 4000 and 4800hp.

I doubt he will be carrying bombs with him however.

            Got to bomb those pesky groundhogs eating up the crops. 

           Looks like he's had a few good harvests, that thing looks expensive.

My thought was that it looked kind of heavy.  I hope his test pilot has experience flying relatively high wing loading aircraft.  It's going to take a fine touch on takeoff and landing, I think.
