Beautiful, Richard. Just beautiful !!! 
You say that you used a large battery pack to aid in balance. Was your Stuka nose or tail heavy?
Looking forward to the inflight shots.
Thanks Tom . Your answer is tail heavy. It's a big stab and a long way back. I placed two Sub C's above the fuel tank bay and no added weight was needed. Might as well take advantage of the C's weight, than put Li-Po's in and then some lead. Alot cheaper and they can be fast charged should the need arise.
I can only fly on Sundays at this time. Getting my photographer available when the weather is right could take some time . I haven't mastered holding a camera and focusing, at the same time as twiddling the sticks

No hurry, Richard. Wait until the timing is perfect to maiden your Stuka.
Hmmm. X-craft's Stuka came out nose heavy, with a G-62. leave it to you to confuse the issue.

Beautiful job on your Stuka! What are you using for a siren, and where did you get it?

JIm,
i4C products (USA). I don't think they do the siren I used anymore, which is extremely loud, boy does it make people stop and dive for cover. I seem to remember someone saying they do a smaller and electronic version which is just as loud.

Great. thanks! A buddy and I are doing a pair of Stukas and we want to do some dive bomb routines. I have a couple of the i4c air whistles and they work great. I want to put one of those on the bomb, then we'll have a screaming sirens and whistling bombs!!
