Cool YouTube Find Guillow’s B17
« on: April 20, 2024, 08:59:47 AM »
I got this kit in 1977 or so in junior high. I framed it up and was going to make it Control line as well. I didn’t get as far as this gentleman did. I’m not sure what is more impressive: the quality of build that he got out of stock Guillows kit, or the fact that he got four baby bees running at the same time. It made me smile.

That is super great.  Amazing what can be done when you are being laid up because of an accident.  I still have my Nobler I built while they were doing meat and skin grafts on me after I totaled an A frame tow truck that was illegally parked.   D>K

 I came across this a while back and watched it, VERY nicely done model and even more impressive that they finished it with IC power and flew it, very cool!  y1

 ...I'd have to dig back into it but if I recall correctly the same person has other Guillows models done the same way.
Narrowly averting disaster since 1964!
