Default Flew Great Planes Stuka

I recently started flying my GP Stuka as well, and find it is a great flying airplane, my previous experience is only a matter of hours ona trainer and a kyosho spitfire.

Had to bend the gear forward as far as I could, and on maiden flight, one of the axles came loose and the wheel rotated 90 degrees, so needless to say, full flaps, and flew it as slow as I possible could on touch down, nosed over, no damage.

Plane take off in a remarkable short stretch, doesn't roll great, but I can fly all around the field inverted no problem. Nice landing without flaps, but still has a tendancy to nose over, we have a rough field.

Nice plane, just need to figure out a fueling method so can stick the cowl on.
