After 3 kits, I had the itch to try a scratch build since I had a box full of extra balsa. I scoured the internet for free plans and came across this design for a 1930s racer. Anyone familiar with it?

Almost finished recovering the Stuka. I like the paint scheme much better than the 1st one I did...LOL

Good news! After repairs, I waited until the wind calmed down and did some test flights. The gliide tests were perfect so I put about 150 winds in it (1/4" FIA tan, 1 loop) and got a nice little flight. Then I put 300 winds in it, crossed my fingers and let 'er go. She climbed and banked to the left and gave me a nice lazy left hand circle for about 10 seconds. Beautiful attitude in the air, so stable and peaceful. Woo hoo! I need a bigger field if I'm going to give it full winds though...

I faired in the front of the landing spats with some balsa. I've also replaced the red clown wheels supplied in the kit with some "half" (more like a quarter actually) wheels made out of balsa. Once painted they'll look OK.

The nose came out pretty good considering I did it all by "eye", I think!

The new color scheme is coming together. I'm going for a more Teutonic white/black/silver. Now that I've had some practice covering, mixing the various colored tissue is getting easier!

When I 1st tried to fly the Stuka I had a motor explode. That's when I learned you have to lubricate the rubber motor, not to mention DON'T use the supplied rubber! I now have a good supply of FIA Tan II rubber...

This Stuka was the 1st plane I'd build in 30 years, and just used the supplied plastic cowl. After practice with the Druine and Monocoupe I decided to go ahead and make a balsa sheeted nose and plug...
