Hi there Stukadriver! I was wondering what the construction of the aircraft is, also what engine is mounted? Are you aware of any plans commercially available for prospective builders? Thanks for sharing your very unique machine with us.
The construction plans were drawn up by Louis Langhurst in the 1970s and I think it borrows a lot of components from the PT-19 aircraft. I don't know if the plans are still available, but you can start looking for them using his name.
@SnoDawgNZ Louis never really did construction drawings per se. I do have schematics that an experienced builder could probably use to build most all of the components of the aircraft, but no drawings that detail, for example, the engine mounts, electrical, or guages. He did write up a "Builder's Guide" which has some good details as well. "FiveCentsPlease" is correct that the landing gear and flight controls are from the PT-19. I would upgrade the braking system, though.
@Falke40lg Your English is very good. I think there is video from the outside. Perhaps on the Collings Foundation WWII Weekend videos. But I do not have any. Thanks for the note.
7/10 scale flying Ju-87B replica, most likely derived from the plans drawn by Louis Langhurst in the 1970s. Not exact, but very convincing in a smaller scale.
Hello, it's me again, Hey I'm considering building a stuka siren myself for my Yak (I know not hystorically accurate, but intersting), do you have alist of componenets?
@javiercarrascob Sorry that I cannot be of much help here. I searched for a siren that could have been historically accurate and came up with nothing suitable. The closest I could get were civil defense sirens and they would not work well. So I settled for electric sirens mounted on the belly.
@FuchsUndRabe While I can accept your sensitivity to the hakenkreutz, I am a bit insulted that you imply that I am stupid. You do not know me...if you did, you might find that I am not stupid. The history of every country has shameful events. After 66 years, it seems that it is time to be a bit more objective. Even Custer's Last Stand is being revealed to be an attempted massacre of an Indian village by US troops. That was then...this is now.
I'm an RAF technician and I fly an r/c ME 109, a nice aircraft is a nice aircraft no matter it's nationality. It's people who are evil, not the metal. History needs to be remembered so it's not repeated and you doing a fine job of that.
@FuchsUndRabe The swastika is a big taboo forever; but the the sign is from ancient times. And Hitler misused it. imagine if Hitler had chosen the christian cross for his flag...
@Stukadriver Yea, you could drop one on the idiot who wined about the Hakenkreuze. What a troll. he most likely believes the malarky about the Third Reich and gas chambers, What anidiot. BTW, since it is a 7/10 model does that mean some gauges had to be left out for lack of room in the cockpit?
@germanysjim Yes, some guages had to be left out...I have seen the instrument cluster in a real StuKa, and what I have is extremely sparce in comparison.
They did sometimes mount a centerline 500kg bomb. However, when they did, the guy in back would stay home due to weight and balance problems. Usually, the bomb load was a 250kg centerline with 50 kg's on the wing hard points.
I avoid debates a well as I can. But...a 500kg bomb approximates a 1,000 pounder. That was not a typical bomb load. Classic loads were 250kg bomb centerline and four 50 kg bombs...two on each wing. The JU87 was an underpowered machine at first and never really had a powerplant that would allow 1,000 pounds loads to be used as a rule with full crew. Yes...they did drop that size load on very hard targets as well as on shipping...but their role as infantry support was a smaller load.
@Stukadriver you're right. the b2 was underpowered but the later d3 and d5 versions had a stronger engine and could carry the 500kg bomb without any problems. But the 250kg + 4 50kg loadout was used more often because the 500kg bomb was against heavy armored targets like ships or bunkers.
Who cares about the critics. Its like the A10 warthog today, not the prettiest looking plane but deadly in its designed purpose. Does this aircraft have the siren to reenact the stukas ground attack? That would be a great draw at airshows.
@MegaWolfgang I agree completely. Critics are everywhere these days...critical of everything. I do have two electric sirens on it. They are very loud...I do not know what it sounds like on the ground, but I am sure not the way the siren lore is depicted in the movies.
Hello, I have always thought the Stuka had great lines. I have a couple questions about flying it. 1. Does the leading and trailing edge (flaps?) work? 2, What is the stall speed and cruise speed? Perhaps you know how they compare to a full sized original Stuka?
I have often thought perhaps this aircraft had some STOL ability. Thanks so much for posting your aircraft. I miss flying sometimes, but alas after 40 years I sold mine and stopped. Was not staying ahead of the aircraft very well...lol
@michaelpilot1000 The flaps cannot be activated. I have ailerons, rudder and elevator control. The dive brakes are also fixed. The stall speed is about 60 knots, cruise on a calm day is around 115 knots. I do not know exactly how it compares to the full size JU87B2's...but Oberst Hans Rudel, who flew in it in 1980, said it handled just like the "real" ones. It probably does have STOL capability. From my research, they landed and took off from some pretty primitive, short runways.
Political correctness be damned, I've always thought the Ju-87 was an elegant bird. I'd love to take that dude up for a spin. Great video, you have fun with that thing.
Oh...I see what you mean. 17 dislikes...well...some people like to think their world view is correct. I am not making any political statements with this video...it is a flight video. If people like aircraft and the thrill of flying, they tend to like this video. Just sharing an experience.
It has a Lycoming GO-435-B engine. Performance is very good. 1,000 ft/min climb easily. Very good handling. Rudel said it handled like the real thing.
No, 7/10 scale replica. I believe that a handful were built from plans but I don't know how many still fly.
There are no flying Stukas and little chance of that in the immediate future from lack of usable survivors and missing original engineering drawings. Perhaps one day.
I am in love with airplanes. mainly aircraft ww2. My favorite is the stuka. here in Brazil does not have many combat aircraft, only the Super Tucano. Embraer. friend hug
Slovak air force WW II marking (fighting on Nazis side at eastern front) - double cross on three hills on the engine cover. Great to see that Stuka is still flying.
@1955thekeeper Not known why some had the Balkenkreuz and not the Hakenkreuz...not sure if that was the case...could be field repairs/modifications. There were many times when Luft personnel did not strictly conform. I do not think the ommission of the Hakenkreuz was a statement of party affiliation or not.
@Stukadriver Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort. Und Ihre nationale Herkunft ist? If my grammar is incorrect, please forgive me for I am trying to learn German. I thought I read somewhere that the Officers of the Luftwaffe were not allowed to become part of the Nazi Party for some reason(s). At first, I only saw Hakenkreuz on aircraft which were used for troop or supply transport while Balkenkreuz were used on actual combat aircraft. Toward the end of the war there seemed to be more Hakenkreuz used.
@1955thekeeper Ich bin ein Amerikaner/Amerikanische...whatever...
Anyway, from my research, I have concluded that many pilots in the Luftwaffe were members of the National Socialist Party. I know people will argue that, even to the extent of saying that Goering was not a member...that is wrong. There are many pictures of Luftwaffe pilots/officers wearing the NAZI party medal. Usually, the "iron cross was on the wings and fuselage while the swaztika was on the rudder. Always exceptions.
@Stukadriver Thank you for your kind reply. As I have tried to research the issue myself, I have found many conflicting suppositions from military and non-military historians. As disciplined as the German (Nazi) Military appeared to be, much of their personal dealings and heritage appeared to be made up as they went along or were the occultist well wishes of highly egocentric departmental ideologues. At the end of the war, the standards seemed to break down to a front line expediency.
@1955thekeeper I agree with much of your impression. As time goes by and new unbiased information becomes available, the picture of the rigid German war machine becomes more blurred. As does the image of the political leaders knowing exactly what was going on in their realm. The power of the ego is usually underestimated.
@Stukadriver I know what you speak of. AH developed a subordinate system which was doomed to failure. He allowed too many similar departments which had un-determined goals to exist and were headed by sycophant men who simply wished to court his favor. All the in fighting and jealously created by this system blurred the lines of command. This design was borne out of AH insecurities concerning a possible coup d'état from his command staff. His concern was warranted. Night of the long knives.
@nflfabfonz It is a Slovak crest. Colors are reversed? In what way? This crest is the same as shown on many pictures and paintings of Rudel's JU87B2 - T6+AD. Rudel himself saw this aircraft and said it was exact.
@nflfabfonz the sky is supposed to be red and the mountains are blue. I even asked some Slovak friends if the crest used to be reversed and they said no
@nflfabfonz I looked up the crest you mention as a Slovak symbol. Yes...very similar, but I think this shield or crest on Rudel's aircraft is Hungarian or Rumanian. Would that be different from the Slovak designs?
@Macclowack There are no production models going around. You have to build one or have it built and it is more expensive than the average joe could afford. There are a few places that offer scaled down warbird plans. My uncle actually owns a hanger/shop in Alaska and the proppeller alone on one of his planes costed 10 thousand US dollars.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir but if I recall, min release alt was 500m and then you needed to pullout.
In any event, you have a beautiful aircraft, and it would be amazing if you could aquire (or have built) the Jerico Trumpet above the cowling.
Have you tried diving at a 70 degree dive angle? Is your Ju87 equipped with an auto-pullout mechanism? So many questions--such a wonderful (although wonderful is very relative) piece of history.
Thanks. You are correct in the altitude. Auto pullout was usually set for that altitude. Many of the pilots did not care for that mechanism, though. I have no auto set...my "Jericho Trumpets" are electric sirens, alas...my search for replica sirens has not been successful...and they were mounted on the wheel spats...60 degrees is the most I have done. It's nice to have people appreciate the aircraft. Thank you.
Not sure if my answer got to you. It is a Lycoming GO-435-B model engine built just after WWII. Most parts are scratch built excepting KG-13 control stick, landing gear and other control parts.
Thanks for your kind words. All my best to you and your countrymen.
Louis Langhurst built it in 1979. I bought it from the second owner in 2004. Louis designed/fabricated/built the aircraft from scratch based upon the Stuka in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.
today in 2010 it sucks to be pilot(military pilot) cuz you drive lame planes f-18 mig-29 are LaME comparing to stuka. and air combat also sucks ,today all depends on technology so f-18 in combat will beat mig-21,cuz it s more equiped and has more technology in it just launch rocket and Bang!, but not in ww2 there were bullets only and victory depends on pilot s skill.
Thanks for enjoying part of the video. I agree, the noise is loud...but the motor stacks are only about five feet from the edge of the cockpit and the wind noise is loud when the cockpit is open.
@TherealPredalien - Seit diesem Video habe ich zwei elektronische Sirenen installiert. Ich konnte nicht einen Wind getreiben Sirene finden, die stark genug war. Ich kaufte dieses Flugzeug von einem Herrn vor ungefahr 8 Jahren. Es ist gebante Replik einer Hand.
So wer sind Sie? Sind Sie in einem StuKa gewesen? Ich habe...derselbe, in dem Oberst Rudel einmal flog. Wenn Sie in solch einem Fluzeug gewesen sind, sind Sie nur ein Esel dadurch, solche Dingen zu sagen.
und was soll ich jz genau an dem video interessant finden? das du in so einem flugzeug geflogen bist? soll ich mich jz verbeugen vor dir? ich dachte nur man sieht hier was spannendes und interessantes aber ich bin enttäuscht worden! für dich natürlich ist sowas ein tolles erlebnis aber zum zuschaun is das... langweilig!!!
So finden Sie es dummen...,was sorge ich mich? Sie sind ein jungen junger Hund, der wahrscheinlich ein Flugzeug irgendwienicht kontrolliert hat. Sie suchen gerade nach einer Weise, Ihre Wut abzureagieren. Schauen Sie anderswohin bitte. Esgibt andere Leute, die dieses Video geniessen und die Absichten schatzen. Ja...konnten Sie sich unten vor mir verbeugen, wenn Sie finden, dass notwendig ist!
Ich mein nur, weil wir uns ja vor ein paar Monaten mal so rumgestritten hatten, welche Bedeutungen die Farbmarkierungen haben. Und ich muss sagen, wir haben uns beide Teilweise geirrt ^^
Please read earlier posts. I am compelled to tell you that this is a replica StuKa. Although Oberst Hans Rudel flew in it and said it flew like the real thing...but nice not being shot at!

I know people will argue that, even to the extent of saying that Goering was not a member...that is wrong. There are many pictures of Luftwaffe pilots/officers wearing the NAZI party medal. Usually, the "iron cross was on the wings and fuselage while the swaztika was on the rudder. Always exceptions.

@Stukadriver Thank you for your kind reply. As I have tried to research the issue myself, I have found many conflicting suppositions from military and non-military historians. As disciplined as the German (Nazi) Military appeared to be, much of their personal dealings and heritage appeared to be made up as they went along or were the occultist well wishes of highly egocentric departmental ideologues. At the end of the war, the standards seemed to break down to a front line expediency.

@1955thekeeper I agree with much of your impression. As time goes by and new unbiased information becomes available, the picture of the rigid German war machine becomes more blurred. As does the image of the political leaders knowing exactly what was going on in their realm. The power of the ego is usually underestimated.

@Stukadriver I know what you speak of. AH developed a subordinate system which was doomed to failure. He allowed too many similar departments which had un-determined goals to exist and were headed by sycophant men who simply wished to court his favor. All the in fighting and jealously created by this system blurred the lines of command. This design was borne out of AH insecurities concerning a possible coup d'état from his command staff. His concern was warranted. Night of the long knives.

Is that the Slovak crest I see on the front of the plane? It's like the Slovak crest with the colors reversed. Does anyone know the reason for that?
nflfabfonz 1 year ago
@nflfabfonz It is a Slovak crest. Colors are reversed? In what way? This crest is the same as shown on many pictures and paintings of Rudel's JU87B2 - T6+AD. Rudel himself saw this aircraft and said it was exact.
Stukadriver 1 year ago
@Stukadriver He's right about the crest. It's supposed to be red sky and blue mountains. The plane is awsome either way though.

Stukadriver 1 year ago
@nflfabfonz the sky is supposed to be red and the mountains are blue. I even asked some Slovak friends if the crest used to be reversed and they said no
nflfabfonz 1 year ago
@nflfabfonz I looked up the crest you mention as a Slovak symbol. Yes...very similar, but I think this shield or crest on Rudel's aircraft is Hungarian or Rumanian. Would that be different from the Slovak designs?

@Macclowack There are no production models going around. You have to build one or have it built and it is more expensive than the average joe could afford. There are a few places that offer scaled down warbird plans. My uncle actually owns a hanger/shop in Alaska and the proppeller alone on one of his planes costed 10 thousand US dollars.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir but if I recall, min release alt was 500m and then you needed to pullout.
In any event, you have a beautiful aircraft, and it would be amazing if you could aquire (or have built) the Jerico Trumpet above the cowling.
Have you tried diving at a 70 degree dive angle? Is your Ju87 equipped with an auto-pullout mechanism? So many questions--such a wonderful (although wonderful is very relative) piece of history.
naval8viator 1 year ago
@naval8viator
Thanks. You are correct in the altitude. Auto pullout was usually set for that altitude. Many of the pilots did not care for that mechanism, though. I have no auto set...my "Jericho Trumpets" are electric sirens, alas...my search for replica sirens has not been successful...and they were mounted on the wheel spats...60 degrees is the most I have done. It's nice to have people appreciate the aircraft. Thank you.

What is the name of that song in the background in this videoclip ?

@MeBest777
I think there are two songs. One is the "Stuka Lied" and the other is the Luftwaffe Theme (I think...it's been a while since I did the video.)

Not sure if my answer got to you. It is a Lycoming GO-435-B model engine built just after WWII. Most parts are scratch built excepting KG-13 control stick, landing gear and other control parts.
Thanks for your kind words. All my best to you and your countrymen.

Louis Langhurst built it in 1979. I bought it from the second owner in 2004. Louis designed/fabricated/built the aircraft from scratch based upon the Stuka in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

today in 2010 it sucks to be pilot(military pilot) cuz you drive lame planes f-18 mig-29 are LaME comparing to stuka. and air combat also sucks ,today all depends on technology so f-18 in combat will beat mig-21,cuz it s more equiped and has more technology in it just launch rocket and Bang!, but not in ww2 there were bullets only and victory depends on pilot s skill.
peace!
