I've been working on this plane for a year and finally got to hear it run and see it fly last week. The recording isn't very good, the motor sounds awsome in person.

Can I fly it ?! haha ! I almost got a ride in a B17 when I was in Phoenix, but they had one engine out for rebuild. I'm gonna do it one day soon. Radial airplane engines produce the best sound ever heard in an internal combustion engine imo.

I will get to fly it when it's done being painted and has the avionics installed. It's going to end up in Peru, but we have to fly it and work out all the bugs before the new owners get it 
Did you know Paul Allen is rebuilding a B17 on the Arlington airport? Been working on it for about 4 years.

Love that sound. I've always wanted to get my Private Pilots License with an IFR rating.
