  • 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...

    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!

      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.

    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!

    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.

    One thing you did that so many others don't do was to keep the weight on the heavy side (more to scale) with enough horses. Makes for stable flight in wind. I like the way you strengthened and over built everything from the wings to the landing gear. The swastika was used as a symbol of good luck by many European countries before Hitler forever changed it to mean hatred and domination.

I also agree that the the builder of the plane on the video is a great craft man. Those naysayers may have never built a scratch built plane and are not familiar with the amount of work and dedication involved. For past 40 years all of my planes have been scratch built and I LOVE it. Keep up the good work Patrick, thumbs up.
