Two things first I'd be willing to bet that if a reputable company began building these to sell and sold them at a reasonable price, I bet they'd sell big time amongst the flying community. Maybe make it just a tad bit bigger so you can maybe have a copilot or even a way that one guy can even look down a bomb site or hell even have one seat in the tail just to get that feeling of what it would have been like to be in all alone in the back looking for enemy planes trying to down you. Most of those men never hit there quota and a lot of the ones who did were lied to and kept even longer because they couldnt afford to lose the experience and the man power. So messed up cause each of those men were not even with the same crews they started out with because they were either killed or wounded. Just a different bread of man. Second thing that's pretty neat, the model RC airplane community has just recently done something very cool. They're putting these cameras that swivel in the cockpit of there RC planes and using the VR goggles to look around and actually fly the plane and man does it look and feel like you're really flying a plane. One guy flies his b17 bomber and it's beautiful

1:50. With all of the enthusiasm for this fine aircraft, we would wonder if Mr. Bally would have appreciated a go-fund-me to set it up with some stronger engines. With Hirth engines at 4 x 45 horsepower = 180 horsepower and a ROC of 350 ft/min, that is quite short for the weight. It only needs some real radial engines 4 x 9 cylinders would give it some climbing moxie! Vernier Scarlett 9U for nearly 550 horsepower ! With those, it ought to climb like a homesick angel!

The B-17 had no armor like P-51's, or kind of protection a P-47 pilot got. The B-17 fuse was just thin steel maybe as thick as corrugated steel roof against flak and 30 MM cannon fire. It was a numbers game send 500 bombers if 400 returned it was a good day.
