Got my B17 from Hobbyking last month bargain £215 inc postage,comes with everything you need apart from lipos/reciever, consists of electric retracts,flaps,aileron,rudder and elevator oh and flashing lights.
Doesn't take long to put together then off to the patch, i fly her on 2x 2200mah 20c. First flight only needed couple clicks aileron/elevator and she's so steady flies like a dream couldn't of asked for a better maiden flight.
However started getting problems after 3rd flight with 1 retract woudn't go up which is being sorted by HK, after a few more flights one of the blades come off in flight (3 blade props) as im climbing away, shut throttle straight away turned back into wind, just about pulled the nose up on landing due to not enough airspeed resulted in a heavy landing ripped gear out of pots and stripped aileron servo gear, sorted that out myself when i got home.
Tuck it to Walsall Funfly last week and second flight in noticed a grey plume of smoke come from the inboard nacelle so landed and retrieved, the back of the motor's windings were black and a bit smelly so back to HK later that day and now in the processes of sorting, apart from these niggling issues she's a good bird to fly
