  • First two flights are at the end (starting about 10min30sec). Been a long 5 years building this plane, but it was all worth while as well as it flies!! Here is a Late afternoon flight a few months later: • Beautiful evening flig...

He may have not make it 100% identical but it doesn't matter. His effort was to build that aircraft from that nation and era in history. You may think this as an experimental model that never made it to the Luftwaffe's airfields....☺️

    I didn't see a bomb drop on the underbelly...perhaps you could add one and drop it on the knuckleheads who gave your video a thumbs down! I really enjoyed it! Even buying models that you build with plans out of a box is a mostly lost art today. 5 years and from scratch...that's an accomplishment! Well done!

      On the real Stuka's the bomb was mounted on a trapeze like arrangement that swung it clear of the arc of the propeller before releasing it as the plane was nearly perfectly vertical during a dive.

    I echo the other's comments: What a build! What dedication! What tenacity! There wouldn't be 20 out of a 100 that would have even attempted this project, let along complete it. My hat is definitely off to you. Note: I built 3 Experimental Amateur Build airplanes - flew the last one for 13 years. Your build was definitely more difficult than mine. You, sir, are a fabricator. I know the hard work and dedication that goes in to these projects, be they full scale or less. You had the guts to take it all on and to realize a beautiful outcome. By the way, those wheel landings were superb. Difficult to do with any size airplane - takes finesse' which you have. Many thanks for letting us see this wonderful project.

    Older video, but it does bring back memories when I was building and flying RC. I even got to the point of teaching others to fly RC via the typical buddy-box system. So I know how much time, effort and work it takes to make such aircraft. And I can also understand the absolute "pucker" factor on your first, second and sequential flights with that build. I was holding my breathe on the first landing, but you did it very smoothly and life-like. Bravo sir, Bravo!
