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.

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.
