Incredible dedication!

Holy crap! Why didn't he build a full scale replica? I salute you sir. Dang!

Did it say just how long it took him to complete? My goodness, what an accomplishment! Beautifully done!

Probably the garage wasn't big enough!

 

[YakkoWarner]

Absolute epic build. And its not just a big RC model - you can get in and fly the thing. I am beyond impressed....

It was mentioned in the video that it took eighteen years to complete.
Why doesn't it say "Experimental" on the fuselage?

 

[Boink]

Wow... and nearly 40,000 hours!

 

[YakkoWarner]

In the video you can see that the EXPERIMENTAL designation is inside the side-opening canopy cover.

Thanks. I’ll go back and watch it again.

 

[YakkoWarner]

Thanks. I’ll go back and watch it again.

If it helps, its most clearly visible around 3:20 into the video where he is getting into the plane.

Ok, I saw it; thanks.
I always thought it had to be on the fuselage so it’s visible all the time.

Nothing short of incredible. I liked the shot where it was sitting next to the real B-17.

FAR 45.23b states the word "EXPERIMENTAL" must be near the entrance to the cabin or cockpit in letters no smaller than 2" or no larger than 6". It can be inside or out as long as it's visible when entering the aircraft.

Thanks for clarifying that Paul.

 

[Trevor Triumph]

Wow, there were times in the video that it was difficult to determine that it was "down sized."
