Pete B Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Might just be worth giving the ailerons an extra wiggle during the pre-flight, though............ Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 You have all been waiting a long time but at last on Sunday conditions were good and all the checks were done and it was time for George's JU87 Stuka to try out its wings on its maiden flight.

PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi George - You get that bomb servo installed and dive it straight for my camera (me flat on my back filming upwards) should look great doing what the Stuka does best - but - - please don't black out in the dive...... I understand the real thing had a device to pull the plane out of the dive if the pilot blacked out for a few seconds - Yours wont have that and I would be at the end of your dive...... Perhaps I should be re-thinking this offer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just looked at this again and still think it's amazing... Weather has so bad the last 3 months that I have just got over trench foot and now I am thinking of getting out my ski's with all this snow but then I am also in danger of getting hypothermia... Be glad when I can start flying and also taking video again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Hackman 2 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Twice we shot the stuka down and the nasty hun fixed it. Well this time we have a plan, we are building the latest version hawker hurricane YT 82in. We plan to shoot it out off the sky its loaded with 8 machine guns that should do for them bad guys wish me luck tally ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi George. Glad to hear the Stuka still lives and I look forward to seeing it flying again this summer. As you know the club field has been closed since September as it has had extensive groundwork to get it flat. The new formulation dwarf grass seed is growing and looks like it has taken well. Just need a few more months then we can finish off with the 2 new club ground rollers. You never need to worry again about any dips and bumps as the six acre strip is looking as flat as a pancake already and with the dwarf grass seed will be great for the Stuka spats.... Regards & happy new year. Peter Edited By PETER BRUCE - Eastchurch Gap on 30/12/2014 23:52:25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
