This may have slipped under the radar. Last time it was mentioned here was 2016. It looks like the Bally Bomber (mini B-17) finally flew in November. Does anyone have any quality flt footage of it?

Taking off.

Probably should have looked here first. Here's some high quality footage of the aircraft in flight and landing. A great project!

That is really cool - great that this dream lives! Imagine 10 or 15 of these doing a mass take off. :D
