Electric R/C B-17 Video

While flying my Taylorcraft at the Fairview Business Park in Fairview, Pennsylvania, a group of guys drove up a few hundred feet away and unloaded an electric B-17 R/C model. It turned out to be some members of the Thermal G R/C Club that meets here in Erie, PA. The club president, Cliff Bendig, walked over and introduced himself, and said that club treasurer Gary Niemi was the owner and pilot of the B-17. I drove over to where they were just in time to get this video of the landing. Very cool!
