From one builder/flyer to another... hands down you're at the top of the class ! An amazing display of discipline and talent, both in the build and the flying ! Definitely of the best that I have seen. Congrats!!
I scratchbuild small RC planes out of cheap foamboard, and maiden flights still scare the puddin' out of me. I can't imagine flying something like your Stuka for the first time. Amazing! What a great build.
How are they trumpets if they are wooden propellers with a fizzle hole though? Plus I wasn’t able to find an original blueprint of it only photo’s so I don’t know how these people could achieve such goal
Pat.....I don't like to throw this statement around or use it lightly but your a FREAKIN GENIUS....by far the most amazing and time consuming process that I've ever seen and it worked beautifully...my hats off to you.....a maizing....nuff said
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.
Fabulous model and love the build pics. I dabbled in these many years ago, but never got to this level. I had a habit of converting all my RC models back to kit form and every crash took part of my soul. I cannot imagine how bad I would feel if I crashed this one after all those years of work.
gentleman this is only a sport/hobby. this is a great build no matter what country had it. my first plane was a line control model like this one. I bought it WOOLCO, IN AMERICA. please do the math. Patrick you did it right. for all of us who viewed this, why did we stay to the end?
What an absolute delight to see a scale r/c model aircraft flown at something like scale speed. Well done. Oh yes and the build was exceptional too! Good luck with it. Regards
Superb workmanship and LANDING ! As a 12,000 pilot I think landing without seeing the airspeed would be very difficult to prevent a stall but you make it look easy
I'm lost for words! Just brilliant. It gave me great pleasure watching it fly and the very process of building the plane. Respect and greetings from Russia.
Attention to detail and workmanship paid off. SO very true to scale. Looked graceful on the ground as well as in the air. Great job on the build, and the flying. The maiden must have been a knee knocker for sure.
@@hariszark7396 but this model does not resemble historical Ju87 at all, so it has nothing to do with history, this model is not Stuka 87 anymore, the shapes of wings and bow are not at all
@@jaxmax5563 when you make something like that, based on a true historical airplane in this case, you want to make it as close to real as you can. 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....☺️
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.
Masterful craftsman, building skills, imagination, and flying. Thanks for sharing the journey … loved every second. Kudos from one builder/modeler/flyer to another.
Mr. Joe Le Bianco, my first control line was also Stuka in 1961 or so. Yeah I enjoyed flying that plane with a Cox 049. 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.
Admittedly I know nothing about these things but the sound of that engine seems much better than anything I've ever heard before from an RC plane. Nice and "woody" sounding if you know what I mean.
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!
My aunt and uncle Fred worked at Messerschmidt in Ww2. Immigrated to the 🇺🇸 in 1954. Uncle Fred worked at Lockheed in Southern Cal. And was involved in the Skunkworks area. X15 . He would have been totally impressed by your creation. Javoll!!!#
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.
Absolutely a professional build! Very talented! Plus You must know Darryl Strawberry, tell him he still has lifelong fans up in Western Ma.. Thanks for an amazing video on an amazing plane!
Great job creating that Stuka dive bomber, it is so hard to keep moving ahead especially on a Project that has so many details and things to consider in the design and building of the air craft. To insure it will function properly under all conditions.
WOW. Such a great build. My grandfather flew this plane during the war I can only imagine the what it would have been like to feel the sensation of an almost vertical dive.
Back in the 1960's I worked weekends in a hobby shop. The owner served in the Polish army at the start of WWII. Stuka attacks were - really- scary. Soldiers sh!t themselves in terror, quite often.
HI R/C FREND BEEN R/C BUILDING FROM PLANS AND DESIGNING FOR 40 ODD YEARS . AND FULL TIME FLYING. SO NICE TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME REAL BUIDERS AND FLYER STILL OUT THERE. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED. NOT LIKE SOME OF TODAY'S FLYERS ON LINE CREDIT CARD OUT OF A BOX TODAY AND FLY TOMORROW. WELL DONE LOVE IT R/C FREND.
I loved the fact that you are honest about your tryouts and revisions. A journey taken is worth as much as arriving! I hope your son recognises that he has an awesome Dad! Best wishes - Rick in London
absolutely fantastic, what patience you must have! what skill too. nice to see the darker side of aircraft, everyone has spits n mustangs etc but see a stuka thats so rare!I would love to have your model!!!
Well done. I was into rc aircraft in my earlier years and careers got in the way and now I'm back in it and I to am building a stuka.i love the look of it.ill refer to yours when I need to.again well done sir
Your in a class by yourself, but you forgot the whistle. When you dive bomb.they actually did it for psychological reasons. Most amazing job. And it flew so well.
Five years of work, truly a labor of love. That Stuka looks amazing!
I'm not a modeller myself but I can appreciate the jaw dropping level of commitment to such a project. Well done!
Simply amazing! The best looking WW2 plane in my opinions. I loved the ME-109 as well but the wing design of the Stuka is just immaculate!
Stuka and FW 190 resembles a wasp ready to attack !
Not only he knows how to build it, in every detail. He also knows how to fly it. 2 very different skills. Very impressive.
Yes, unusual combination of skills indeed!
From one builder/flyer to another... hands down you're at the top of the class ! An amazing display of discipline and talent, both in the build and the flying ! Definitely of the best that I have seen. Congrats!!
Great build, great flight, but, it needs a pointy cone spinner, with the swirly paint on it..Good job!
Just wow on every count, design, build, problem solving , flying and an incredible landing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I scratchbuild small RC planes out of cheap foamboard, and maiden flights still scare the puddin' out of me. I can't imagine flying something like your Stuka for the first time. Amazing! What a great build.
Brilliant build! The large scale makes it fly like a full size aircraft, much more realistic, top man!
What brilliant craftsmanship. Beautiful. My great grandmother saw the real things come screaching down on her in Greece during early phase of WW 2.
Absolutely beautiful build brother. You are a very talented person. Thanks for sharing
Bro, imagine if he could add the Jericho trumpets. That would be so cool!
I call the trumpets “Stuka Blyats”
Santa Julia is the real name, after Spanish Civil War 1938.
Imagine if he added an airsoft gun disguised as the 37mm bordkanone
*REEEEEEEEE* plane explodes due to shrapnel
How are they trumpets if they are wooden propellers with a fizzle hole though? Plus I wasn’t able to find an original blueprint of it only photo’s so I don’t know how these people could achieve such goal
Brilliant. How far we've come since my own feeble R/C efforts in the early 1950's. Wonderful.
Pat.....I don't like to throw this statement around or use it lightly but your a FREAKIN GENIUS....by far the most amazing and time consuming process that I've ever seen and it worked beautifully...my
hats off to you.....a maizing....nuff said
Great build sir and you are the best pilot I've ever seen, smooth and scale speed too. Congratulations! I love the way your whole family was with you.

That was one of the most scale take offs and landings I have ever seen on a maiden voyage. Beautiful warbird and great skills.
Epitome of RC modelling!!! Metal canopy frame, electric starter, etc,? Hans-Ulrich Rudel would have been proud of you!!! OUTSTANDING!
Absolutely awesome. My favourite of all the WW11 planes. Stunning
Not only is he a good designer and builder, he's also a brilliant pilot. Kudos!
Fabulous model and love the build pics. I dabbled in these many years ago, but never got to this level. I had a habit of converting all my RC models back to kit form and every crash took part of my soul. I cannot imagine how bad I would feel if I crashed this one after all those years of work.
Wow! Five years! You got the aerodynamics perfect. It flies like a dream!
The craftsmanship is first class. Excellent!
Just stumbled across this , mind blowing engineering crossed with artistry, amazing work.
Skills my friend....you have them in abundance! Thank you for showing us your passion.
gentleman this is only a sport/hobby. this is a great build no matter what country had it. my first plane was a line control model like this one. I bought it WOOLCO, IN AMERICA. please do the math. Patrick you did it right. for all of us who viewed this, why did we stay to the end?
What a beautiful model,,and the electric inbuilt starter, Great flying too, well done.
Now get a couple Jericho Sirens, mount them on each landing gear and you'll be set. BEAUTIFUL build, congratulations!!
Sweet takeoff and landing. That's a nice looking bird you built. Thanks for sharing.
What an absolute delight to see a scale r/c model aircraft flown at something like scale speed. Well done. Oh yes and the build was exceptional too! Good luck with it. Regards
Such Attention to detail.
What a Beautiful Plane, he’s ended up with!!
Superb workmanship and LANDING ! As a 12,000 pilot I think landing without seeing the airspeed would be very difficult to prevent a stall but you make it look easy
wow, that's probably the sweetest lift-off and landing of any maiden I've seen
I'm lost for words! Just brilliant. It gave me great pleasure watching it fly and the very process of building the plane.
Respect and greetings from Russia.

Great job. Dad and I used to build 'em. Your son adores you man. Enjoy that.
Add a siren and dive that sucker! Love the authentic scale and paint including the swatchita on the tail. Great job!
I’m glad he added the true to life insignias...the swastika and not some generic design.
We can't deny history.

@@jaxmax5563 Maybe you can scratch build a better one?
@@tjs0004 He at least sees that this models looks nothing like the Stuka, so maybe he could actually build a better one.
Simply amazing. Beautiful, detailed, inspired...and it FLYS!
Labour of love! I am sure you added the wheel pants, a spinner and Jericho's trumpet later. Bravo!
Beautiful build..... Great job..... She look's gorgeous!!!!!!!
Wow! Beautiful build and the flying sure looked real to me. The take offs and landings looked so real. Bravo!
From one Brit to an American Cousin, SIMPLY STUNNING! Well done.....
Wow! The wing loading looks perfect. This airplane fly's beautifully. Congratulations!!! Your very hard work has payed off.

The origins of the Swastika are Eurasian and date back over 6000 years.
5 years! But finally the work is worth. Congratulations, great airplane.
Fascinating... fantastic craftsmanship. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. But 5 years!!!! Incredible dedication.
FANTASTIC JOB!!!!! My favorite aircraft Patrick!

Great job bulding and flying. Two thums up!!!
Amazing how smooth that plane is!! 👍🏻
Thank You ! Cox JU87-Stuka is my childhood first plane !
Absolutely incredible job!!!! The diving siren and a go cam in it would be really cool!!!!!
My aunt and uncle Fred worked at Messerschmidt in Ww2. Immigrated to the 🇺🇸 in 1954. Uncle Fred worked at Lockheed in Southern Cal. And was involved in the Skunkworks area. X15 . He would have been totally impressed by your creation. Javoll!!!#

I also believe that on the left fixed gear the siren was placed
i believe that he could fit airsoft mg"s in there too... that would be awesome
Absolutely a professional build! Very talented! Plus You must know Darryl Strawberry, tell him he still has lifelong fans up in Western Ma.. Thanks for an amazing video on an amazing plane!

Awesome build, and love those Tim Allen clips.
Beautiful work. Lovely looking model.
inspirational to see reward from a long passionate journey..... thanks Patrick
Forget any of the haters, by flight 200 it will be spot on in every detail. Good Job!!!
WOW. Such a great build. My grandfather flew this plane during the war I can only imagine the what it would have been like to feel the sensation of an almost vertical dive.
Outstanding! Beautiful scale model and looks to be perfectly balanced. Congratulations.
Back in the 1960's I worked weekends in a hobby shop.
The owner served in the Polish army at the start of WWII.
Stuka attacks were - really- scary.
Soldiers sh!t themselves in terror, quite often.
Amazing work. You are a mixture of engineer, mechanic and artist. Beautiful giant Stuka.
What a beautiful job! Love the electric starter! Like another person said, this needs a siren for dive bombing. Thanks for the video.
Wow! I mean WOW! That’s all I’ve got. 🤷🏻♂️ Beautiful build!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Electric start, very impressive.
That is just Amazing !!...I salute you !...That is one mind blowing project !! 😀👍
WOW WHAT A BEAUTY, THIS GUY SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF HIMSELF,

Nagyszerű munka!
Nagyszerű repülőgép nagyon jó video👍👍👍
You are an amazing artisan...beautiful war bird!
absolutely fantastic, what patience you must have! what skill too. nice to see the darker side of aircraft, everyone has spits n mustangs etc but see a stuka thats so rare!I would love to have your model!!!
Great project. Fantastic craftsmanship. Congratulations!
Well done. I was into rc aircraft in my earlier years and careers got in the way and now I'm back in it and I to am building a stuka.i love the look of it.ill refer to yours when I need to.again well done sir
Great work! A really good result from the build and silky-smooth flying skills - very well shown with the nice landings! Well done!
Very WELL DONE. EXCELLENT JOB, GOOD FLYING and LANDING TOO! SMOOTH ALL THE WAY.
That was awesome, what an AWESOME plane! Thank you!
Fantastic pice of work . Had to be nerve racking maiden flight but looks great . Thanks for sharing .
Das Good Quality Build und Kraftsmanship Pretty Good Pilot Too. Your ready to join the Luftwaffe. Prost!
Beautiful! And the most realistic R/C (1st) takeoff and landing I've ever seen!
Excellent aircraft with very good flying characteristics and great piloting skills.
Congratulations and a Job Well Done!
I envy your talent and dedication sir. WOW!
"A critic is a product of creativity not his own!" You 'da Man!
The stuka was one of favorite German planes. Coincidentally there was a punk rock band in the late 70s called "the stukas".
Was there a Stuka with that kind of huge low slung radiator/grill ?
Very impressive from start to finish ... you have a lot to be proud of.
Nice Sturzkampfbomber. Nice picture of my former homebase, too. Regards from St.M./Samedan. 😊
Astonishing video Patrick. All my hats are off to you. Good flying...
Your in a class by yourself, but you forgot the whistle. When you dive bomb.they actually did it for psychological reasons. Most amazing job. And it flew so well.
Just ran across your video, Great Build ,Ben a fan of the screamer for decades, Great ground attack air craft. Flying tank. Later from Texas
