As a pilot, if this doesn't bring a smile to your face, you may be dead inside.

The full sized plane is cool, but it had lots of hands and donors that helped it get in the air. Here's a link to a delightfully crazy guy that designed and built a 1/3 scale B-17 that is a single pilot airplane! I haven't found any information on whether it has flown yet, but the work just getting it built and powered is amazing!

Sort of a HUGE (popular adjective nowadays) self piloted R/C.

Very cool project. That guy has a lot of $, ability and time.

Very cool though

Apparently it had its first flight on November 14th. That's pretty cool!

looks great in that pic nest to the C-140

Awesome project and great video. Thanks for sharing.
