War is a horrible thing, but we have to permit that there are many high end weapons in wars including fighters which can be an inspiration of creating RC aircraft toys. Today, we’ll have a look at EasySky B-17, modeled after the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress- one of the most iconic aircraft of the second World War used for strategic bombing of targets in Europe.

EasySky B-17 is different from other warplanes. It re-creates this famouse bomber with a sport scale outline, molded entirely of EPO foam, which is something typically not seen in micro models. This makes our EasySky B-17 quite durable with the smooth surface finished and look much more realistic than other EPS foam micros on the market.

EasySky B-17 doesn’t come with a receiver, it requires DSM2 compatible receiver that features integrated flight stabilization system. When using a 5+ channel transmitter, you can choose to turn the stabilization on or off while in flight. If using a simple 4 channel transmitter, the flight stabilization defaults to the On position. Removable plug-in landing gear lets you choose between taking off from the ground, or simply hand launching the model. Accessing the battery is quick and easy through the removable nose dome.

Flying the this EasySky B-17 is a real treat. Even in breezier conditions, it handles quite well with, and without stabilization turned on. The light weight, and ample power on tap mean you can fly at low throttle settings and get long flight times. With differential thrust on the counter rotating propellers, smooth, scale turns and easy ground handling, EasySky B-17 is really a sweet warplane.
