Just wanted to clarify something you said in the video about smaller vs "monster" sized RC aircraft (helis too!). The larger they are, the EASIER they are to fly. One shouldn't let the size intimidate them. It's like riding a bicycle down the road and having a semi-truck pass you. On a bicycle, the wake from that truck are going to blow you all around. However, if you were on a Harley Fat Boy, those winds would affect you less. Same with larger planes/helis. The larger and heavier, the less little gusts and breezes affect their stability! Great video, and YES, everyone should LOVE the Ju-87 Stuka, it's the German A-10!

This is the best model you guys have ever done! The monster Corsair & Zero were fantastic, but the Stuka takes it to a whole new level! Please, if it’s at all possible, market these 3 “monster” size airplanes as kits, even if they would necessarily be more complex, requiring skills and technical expertise of long-time builders. I’ve been building balsa kits for over 40 years, which is why I’ve never bothered to purchase any of your previous models, believing they would be “too easy”. However, these models are something I would be proud to show off at my local flying field! Great job to all involved - keep ‘em flying!

Tip for dive bombing with Stuka in WT, reduce throttle to 0 and have the airbrakes on. She'll pull out of a 90 degree dive easily so long as you pull up at least 500 meters up.

The Stuka and the P-47 are my two favorite planes. The very first flying model i had growing up was a line controlled Stuka. The very first R/C plane i had was the P-47. Yes i know (NOW) that the P-47 was a bad choice for a first model....it did not survive long.

This is crazy! Weird timing I just finished a 200% Miniac rc foamboard Stuka!

You should do the BF 110, that one is pretty cool

Great Stuka build and flight, tuff deep snow landing. Very cool.

OUTSTANDING! By a weird coincidence just a few days ago I found a complete AIRFIX 1 : 48 scale model kit Ju 87-2 at a thrift store for only $2.00 and I had a blast building it! If there is ANY way your bomb/trapeeze upgrade can include the bomber's window in the floor, that would be rad! When I completed my model, I could hold it up to a light, look under it, just behind the engine, through the cockpit and see the light through the canopy! That really gave me a new way of understanding the aircraft and how the pilot aimed by looking down between his feet. I love your videos and a dream of mine is to build and fly one someday xD

Do your research and try to maximize your performance per dollar for the games you want to play. Don't try to make a future proof machine, even the best will be obsolete in 5 years. I'm waiting for VR requirements to stabilize so I can build a VR flight sim machine myself. If you want to fly on that Chromebook check out FlightGear. It will probably run on low settings. It's free and has very realistic airplane handling. I've flown the real and simulated 172 and can say hours doing touch-and-gos in FlightGear are well spent! Also if you like quadcopters try out the demo of FPVFreerider (original, not recharged). It will run on a potato and I improved my quad skills so much with this $5 sim.

Ah, John Overstreet, Contractually obliged to be mentioned in every video, now gets a cameo.

I think fitting this bird with FPV will really improve your bomb drop accuracy as the pilots held a dive angle of around 60° or more and point the aircraft at the target and let Newton's First Law of Motion do its thing. Might as well do it right this time.

Excellent build guys - great job!

The smaller size Stuka absolutely needs to be a kit

This is mind blowing. The construction techniques show exceptional flair and craftsmanship. Funnily I was contemplating the flight characteristics of this classic gull wing marque earlier.. "altitude-folding", I'd say. Thank you for posting this exhilarating ride!

Thank you Thank you Thank you! But if you're going to do the Stuka you have to build the Ju86g model. If you can find it you need to read the book "Stuka Pilot" written by Hans-Ulrich Rudel. He was probably the most iconic german pilot and the most decorated from WWII. They ran out of awards to give him and had to make a new award just for him. The Ju86g model was built with 2 20mm flak cannons and was made for taking out tanks as its primary objective. During the design of the A10 Thunderbolt(Warthog) he was even consulted. Now I don't know if he suggested anything that was actually used on the A10 but still the fact that he was brought in as a consultant just goes to show how impressive his reputation was.

I think the stuka is a pretty ”scary” plane because of the siren, it’s insane accuracy and it’s power (and that’s why it’s one of my favourite planes) So i thought that the scene at 17:28 was pretty cool/scary.

Wowza, you guys have the most amazing camera footage that I have seen from these RC flights. Keep up the amazing work guys. Take Care

BTW, the tail gun on the Junkers 87 was usually a 7.92 mm machine gun. Not a "big machine gun" by anyone's standard. Plus the mags were small and ran out fast. Imagine being a tail gunner on a lumbering Junkers 87 with two agile Hurricanes chasing you, sixteen .303 machine guns against your one little gun. Posthumous Iron Cross, here we come!

First set of scale landing gear I've seen you guys build, and of course you go flying in the snow. LOL

Definitely Speed build . The Stuka is a icon.

And please remember that you can map your controls out just like an RC so your muscle memory can give it some pretty interesting skids slips and stall recoveries war thunder is an amazing simulator I’ve been playing for years NF been watching you guys for years too

Flight Test! That Stuka is awesome what a great build it's so iconic to the warbird fans I love it and it seemed to fly great right off the bat very cool! Can't wait to see all the tweaking with the drop bomb setup and hopefully a siren when dive bombing runs!😉👍

Speed build for sure! Looks amazing, I am myself doing a stuka, and I wanted to get the airfoil from somewhere. Although there is couple of things with it, I made it too small for the motor I have, so it's gonna be a speedy boy, but either way I am really looking forward for seeing this as a speed build kit

I have War Thunder and I like to play on custom battles and I always use my STUKA and do a full on movie cinematic moment as I dive bomb a destroyer and I always have a smile on my face as I see the "TARGET ELIMENATED" on my screen. P.S. in case you didn't know STUKAS are my favorite German plane.

I've gotten into the habit of liking the video before I've watched it, cause I know I'm for a fun ride, and you guys never disappoint!! Awesome build!!

I love the Stuka! You guys rocked it. BTW Josh I love the T-shirt!

A wailing horn is good but for the bomb drop system just use a pneumatic piston in the cockpit vertical so it pushes down the nose of the bomb, then use the a-36 apache bomb drop system.

Because u have been able to create really strong, durable wings recently, you should retry the cozy coop. If you do it, u should try attaching the wings by drilling holes in the top

Also most people get it wrong that all ju 87s have the siren but it is only the ju 87 b2

Nutty build. And PETER!!! Yay!

Respect to you for using genuine, unpolished gameplay, awkward though it may be to watch as a seasoned player. I think you may have missed a small opportunity to highlight War Thunder's attention to detail with the new flutter/flexing on aircraft wings.

Who wants to see all these Giants fly in formation ? That would be awesome to see in my opinion Awesome build guys 🔥👍✌️

Another awesome video! Would love to see speed builds of a mini and normal size Stuka!

How to Stuka: 1. Gain altitude of 10,000 feet 2. Once you are over your target, roll and dive. 3. Once you are at 500-1000 feet release payload and pull up. 4. Profit.
