Correction: Could you tell me where you found a ''place'' to order the canopy? [not plane] PC

In an europe shop online. [link=http://shop.lindinger.at/product_info.php?products_id=85293]Lindinger[/link]
Planet hobby and ESM are the same factory.

Great work from everyone!

Prekin, your setup is very similiar to mine. I have a DLE30 on my D model with a scratch built cockpit as well. My plane came in at 18lbs and flies great with the 30 up front. It takes off in about 50 feet and has tons of climbing power. Plus, it floats in for landings. It's really a great flying plane.

Regarding your question, I about balancing weight, my plane needed 3oz of tail weight to balance.
May you tell me please your COG?

Hi,
I am building ESM Stuka D, I have engine DLE 30 and I try to do cockpit myself. I´ve just done instrument panel and now I´m doing rear guns MG 81Z. Because the tail wheel was bad I did new one and also new main gear with springs.
What type of new main gears did you use and how you modified them to work with wheel's boots?
Thanks.
