Beautiful, Richard. Just beautiful !!!

You say that you used a large battery pack to aid in balance. Was your Stuka nose or tail heavy?

Looking forward to the inflight shots.

Thanks Tom  . Your answer is tail heavy. It's a big stab and a long way back. I placed two Sub C's above the fuel tank bay and no added weight was needed. Might as well take advantage of the C's weight, than put Li-Po's in and then some lead. Alot cheaper and they can be fast charged should the need arise.

I can only fly on Sundays at this time. Getting my photographer available when the weather is right could take some time . I haven't mastered holding a camera and focusing, at the same time as twiddling the sticks

No hurry, Richard. Wait until the timing is perfect to maiden your Stuka.

Hmmm. X-craft's Stuka came out nose heavy, with a G-62. leave it to you to confuse the issue.

CONGRATS Richard.

It takes a few months before us poor Aussies get the current mags so I will be waiting IM-patiently.

May the flights be pleasurable and many of them

Cheers Geoff

Beautiful job on your Stuka!  What are you using for a siren, and where did you get it?

Jim

JIm,

i4C products (USA). I don't think they do the siren I used anymore, which is extremely loud, boy does it make people stop and dive for cover. I seem to remember someone saying they do a smaller and electronic version which is just as loud.

Great. thanks!  A buddy and I are doing a pair of Stukas and we want to do some dive bomb routines. I have a couple of the i4c air whistles and they work great. I want to put one of those on the bomb, then we'll have a screaming sirens and whistling bombs!!

Jim
