Djay Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 One build I started right at the beginning of lock down a year ago was the Ziroli Stuka. This was going to be a retirement build but decided to do it now. I brought the plans, laser cut short kit, all mouldings, cockpit gear, and engine when I was on holiday in the States in 2006. Wingspan is 100 inch and is a 1 piece wing so converted it to 3 piece for convenience. Stab is 1 meter long. Power is a Zenoha 62 magneto petrol engine with 22 x 10 prop, let the build begin. 3 ft rule on the plan in first pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djay Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 decided to test fly it before painting and detailing it, so with a 22x10 2 blade test prop the engine was fired up and it was taxied out, so much thrust from the engine. It took off in about 3 meters at 25% throttle setting and just flew like a big slow trainer, only easier At 25% flap it floated in for landing at walking pace. So now all stripped down ready to paint. VID-20210312-WA0013.mp4 VID-20210312-WA0012.mp4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
