Paul Marsh Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 You're link me. Managed to get some really bashed models back into the air. Some either people gave me after crashing, or old models that I broke in the end. Even if doesn't get as pristine as before, as long as it is strong enough and flies ok. Got some photos of it at various events if you need another angle, etc... Edited By Paul Marsh on 28/04/2012 11:05:28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Hackman 2 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi, the cowl hold the parts together, super glue. When dry fix with fiberglass and fiberglass resin then selotape. When dry peel off tape for almost a smooth finish sand down and paint. One spat was badly damaged but will fix in same way. canopy I was going to fix with canopy glue got most off it back but found one on web for £8 +post so no brainer George.

PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi George. The pictures showing the work in progress of the Stuka look great and I am so please you have posted them here for all to share. I have to admit I would have lost any bet (big time) regarding the practical posibility of getting this model back into the air again - but there she rises like a Phoenix from the ashes... I will not be after this remarkable fellows name from you as he must be a migician to raise this Phoenix. Regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Geo, when posting pictures could you just press enter between each photo, just so they end up one above the other? How you'd done them was side by side, some browsers sort this out, but some show them side by side going off the right hand side of the screen. I've done the ones above, it would be a shame if some people couldn't see them. It's coming along rather nicely isn't it? I like a good rebuild.

Spice Cat Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Great rebuild. Funny thing is I read the prototype Stuka had a Rolls Royce Kestrel engine. Funny old world. Any chance of a video of it flying??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I popped into Hendon a few weeks ago and saw the real thing for the first time. I was amazed at the sheer size of it - I'd imagined something about the size of a stretched Hurricane but it seemed twice the size - no wonder it needed a decent engine! Checking the dimensions, it's not actually that much larger than a Hurri (5 feet on the span and around a foot in height) but it doesn't half look it!

Geo Hackman 2 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi guys can you help me find this hinge having trouble 1 1/4 long its for the flaps thanks geo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cantwell Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 give wilson a ring at YT, they are similar to our stuka hinges, he might find you and odd one, but ours are straight, to go into a slot, they are not bent over, but, there is sufficient length, you may be able to bend one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not heard a peep from George or even seen him at the field - I wonder if he is coming to the Flying Spectacular event this weekend - It would be nice to film the Stuka there...

Delta Whiskey Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Admiration indeed for the repair work but I have to ask, why were the two planes not doing circuits the same way? Edited By Delta Whiskey on 11/07/2012 09:54:49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
