I have about 200 flights on my Stuka. Mine flies great and I have had 2 motors installed. Both have performed well and had plenty of power to haul my Stuka. I first installed a Saito 100 (see above). This engine had plenty of power and is the better engine for this plane of the two that I used. The second engine that I used in it is a YS 110 with a Graupner 14x7 3 blade Graupner prop. This worked great also but was really way mor power than I needed even with a 3-blade prop. I put the Saito 100 back in it and that's how I fly it today.

I disconnected the inner flaps because I had too many problems getting them to work correctly. I use the outer longer flaps but they are not really needed.

If this plane has a dead stick it will not coast. Underpowering this plane is a mistake so, of you have questions about the motor, sw2ap the motor for one that will be enough power.

Also, this plane is not aerobatic in any sense of the word. It takes a long time to roll the plane even when rudder is mixed in.

But, people do take notice when you fly it. I also put whistles in the wheel pants of mine that make a good cheap siren.
