Guillow's Giant Scale JU 87-B Stuka • RC Maiden Flight 

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! There's a lot to learn from kit building and it's fun!

Had lots of fun on this project and learned a few things as well. Wanted to show the bomb drop, but then I couldn't have Hans and Franz get away with that! Thanks for watching and your generous comment!

Thanks! I'll agree with you about the Spitfires.

Thank you! Had a lot of fun making this one.

Thanks for the comment! It's a hobby it's suppose to be fun!

Thanks for watching! You never know what's going to happen on a maiden flight, but the bullet holes have been repaired and it' back to flying condition.

Just trying to make fun videos of a fun hobby. Thanks for watching!

I had fun building and making this video. A round of drinks for everybody!

Tally-ho! Had fun making that video. Thanks!

Thanks! Had a lot of fun creating this video.

Thanks!

Thanks Mike! If you haven't already, check out the build video of this model on the Punk Works channel.

Had fun making that one, thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks! It was fun building, flying and making this video.

Ya, those maiden flights are always a bit nerve wracking! Love the Catalina, that should be a fun build! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It's a fun hobby and a great way to "Let off some steam"!

Thanks! Lots of great videos on your channel, I build the Guillow's Airacobra kit some time ago but it didn't come out as nice as your build!

Had a lot of fun putting this video together, glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

Yes, it got away from me in silhouette! Just glad I caught on video, turned out to be a useful bit of footage. Minor repairs and it's back in flying condition. Thanks!

Thanks, glad you liked that one!

Thanks, had fun making that one.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your comments! I guess I forgot to make the scale sirens. I was thinking about adding one of those whistles that go on the out side of your car to scare off deer and moose, just didn't get to it when I made this video. Thanks for watching!

Right with you. I tried that on my little 400mm mustang, it didn't go fast enough. You might want to enlarge the hole if it doesn't make noise in a dive for your bigger planes. If you do put the dive sirens or whistle on, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks, not exactly sure, but I suspect it was mostly do to my bad piloting skills (getting lost in the silhouette). There was only minor damage and I was able to repair it and get it back in the sky for more filming. The crash did come in handy in the making of the video though, glad I got that on film!

@@punkworkschannel happy to hear the damage was repairable!

A sound designed specifically to terrify.

Happy you enjoyed that old boy!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Yes I agree, the wing loading was creeping up as I built it, but got it up in the air. It is an interesting and challenging subject for model building. It has a goofy and menacing look at the same time. Just trying to keep things fun, no historical accuracy here. Thanks for watching!

@@punkworkschannelYes, fun is the goal of our hobby. The biggest and most interesting problem when building scale flying models is how to add convincing scale detail without busting the maximum permissible wing-loading for good-looking, well-controlled flight. This is why simpler aircraft designs (Piper Cubs, etc.) work so well in this genre. Aircraft such as the JU-87 present constant problems for which compromises must be made. Materials such as foam and blown thin plastic parts help a lot. Size, in this case, and for many good aerodynamic reasons, really matters. Smaller scale models present an almost insurmountable set of problems that can and usually only be solved by so limiting their weight and structures that they can only be safely flown indoors or in absolutely still air (rarely found outdoors). For authentic-looking outdoor scale flying, go large or go home. As we know, full-size aircraft are mostly air surrounded by the most minimally necessary structure. Our scale models must be constructed similarly if we want them to fly with any reasonable scale authority. Otherwise, what we get are all of those flitting, super-speedy, mosquito-like things that can hardly be said to be “flying” at all. Cheers and good flying.
