Status: offline 		My Stuka is nearing completion and I wanted to know what the finished airplanes are actually weighing. Mine seems to be getting heavy, especially the wing. What weight should I be looking at for a fiberglassed, painted, G-62, Stuka?

Status: offline 		HEY FELLOW STUKA PILOTS, ALTHOUGH MINES OLDER THAN DIRT, AND AGE IS TAKING ITS TOLL, IT WEIGHS IN AT 29LBS. WITH THE G-62 AND THE I4C AIRSCREAMING SIREN. IT FLY'S LIKE A TRAINER AND WITH THE MEZJLIK 22X10 THREE BLADED PROP, FLY'S VERY SCALE. I DONT HAVE PHOTO CAPABILITY, BUT JUST LOOK AT ANY HIGH FLIGHT MAG FROM THE 90"S, CHANCES ARE GREAT THAT YOU'LL FIND IT IN THERE.

Status: offline 		Thanks as always, Stuka Barry.

by the way, whats your input on Push rods ?, the Ziroli instructions suggest Glass Fibre arrow shafts. Has anyone tried rear mounting servos ?, or cables.

Suggestions on a postcard please.......

oh by the way, I'll stick the latest photos of the beast latter today on this site. Boy the sheeting is a task on its own.

Status: offline 		BOTH MY ORIGINAL AND MY NEW STUKA HAVE DU-BRO 1/4 SCALE NYROD. THE BLACK NYROD, HEAVY DUTY. I DONT RECOMMEND SERVO'S IN THE TAIL FOR BALANCE REASONS. ALL FUSELAGE SERVO'S SHOULD BE IN THE WING SADDLE AREA. ALONG WITH RECEIVER AND BATTERY. THE IDEA IS TO BALANCE THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT USING DEAD WEIGHT.THE NYRODS ARE EASY TO INSTALL AND ARE FOOL PROOF. ANCHORING THE NYROD THRU THE BULKHEADS, LEAVES NO ROOM FOR FLEXING. THEY OPERATE SMOOTHLY PUTING NO BINDING ON THE SERVO'S. THEY WEIGH NOTHING SO THATS NOT A FACTOR. THIS IS AN INEXPENSIVE INSTALLATION, AND WORKS WELL.

Status: offline 		It would seem that we need to find another source for the siren; I4C no longer carries that product.

They do have a whistle but NO siren for our Stukas.

Status: offline 		Hi,
This is abt installing servos in the tail....How abt using the VOLZ ultra thin servos in the tail for ele and rudd? They are very light and have good torque for the application. I think they are the Wing Maxx or the mirco maxx servos from VOLZ...I am thinking of getting them for the stuka..unless there is a very good reason not to.
