9:28 - "Wittman Tailwind... Yeah it looks like the airplane that Jim Bede made." How dare you, Sir! Harrumph! Just kidding. Thanks for the look at the show.
The wiki page is really interesting, he designed it from drawings of a 1:9 scale rc model and ended up with a 1:3 scale single seat b17 replica. Im guessing the second owner is selling it? I wonder if the plane has been repowered as the for sale sign says 4x hirth 45hp, while the wiki page shows 4x 85hp Hirth F-30s.
There is a video on youtube interviewing the guy who built it. He took the 85hp motors, removed the gearboxes to derate them to about 45hp. Thats why theres a discrepancy. He was originally going to scale a b25, but the square footage of the wing didnt scale without changing the plane. So he decided to make a b 17.
