Nice concept but I think it looks a bit naff. Too much like a toy.

sorry had to look up "naff"

British slang, describes something that is stupid, lame or unpalatable. That party was naff — they ran out of beer, and the people were way too uptight.
now now... it's not that bad... not as bad as running out of beer ;)

I think HH did a great job in clearing all the brushed 1s motor (instead of 1, now 4 motors)

Compare with the Ember or the Champ, it's pretty scale to me.

Took the Fortress out for maiden this morning.  So scale with just above 1/2 throttle, it's really different than other warbird.  Compare with UM Mosquito, this plane flies even better.  It's a keeper!!

Wow... with due respect to Mr. Higgins, that plane is definitely not naff!

This plane can be good glider too  ;D

Wind is @ 15km/h.  I need to keep down elevator to maintain the balance.

Nice videos. What camera are you using to capture video at the runway surface level?
