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...
@@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....☺️
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!!
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!#
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!
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
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.
Exceptional talent not only on the build but also as a pilot flying and landing such a beast, a GO pro view would be great to see, I would suggest against screaming dive bombings with such a labour of love.
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.
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
That's a true RC plane. No foamy there!👍 Did the xanax stash take a hit on maiden day😳? Congratulations my man. A 5 year project all came down to that one day. THE MAIDEN and YOU NAILED IT! Nerves of steel and you created a beautiful plane. I hope she lasts you a good long time. I built a Mes ME262 with twin 70mm edfs but it was nothing compared. The germans made AWESOME planes. Thanks for Sharing 👍👍👍👍
This was a very well built RC plane. I especially enjoyed the German Swastika on the tail fin as that brings realism to the plane. I am grateful you did not bow to the zionist left and were not forced to remove as they are to this day still afraid of Hitler, (even though he has been dead for many years).
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.
Masterful craftsman, building skills, imagination, and flying. Thanks for sharing the journey … loved every second. Kudos from one builder/modeler/flyer to another.
