Thread: Conspicuous by Their Absence

    Yes, I got it twice. Thanks to both of you!

    I poked around at it a bit.

    BTW, No Dice, you have a very nice Veltro on your site already:
    http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/MC.205%20RF%20V2.5.zip

    There are a bunch of things I would do differently, but this is still a very nice model.

    Ivan,
    I agree with you, the 2.5 posted is really a beauty, BUT yours gets to go into the Ivan Collection and nothing can compete with that.

    Hopefully most people notice that I am quite particular on what gets posted and what does not on the Free Flight Site. It is intended for the collector, the garbage is still out there on the other sites for anyone that wants to spend the time weeding it out.

    Actually I will disagree with you here. There is LOTs of stuff out there that can easily compete with anything I have ever built.

    I also have a Lysander AFX that I have not posted, Anyone want it.

    P.S. to Ivan, if that was true, they also would have their own section on the Free Flight Site.

    after spending the weekend
    figuring out how to open the stuka,
    (actually, Ivan showed me)
    i'll take the Lysander just for a look see.

    although, i do have a very nice one by James Elwood.

    by the way, to say the least,
    the stuka leaves something to be desired,
    but maybe useful in a project
    i've had in mind for a few years now.
    sometimes the magic works.
    sometimes it doesn't.

    Sturz Kampf Flugzeug

    Just for grins, I poked around a bit today looking for good drawings of the Ju-87D. I found some really excellent ones for the Ju-87B, but unfortunately not the D model.

    How about this one?

    Why not a B? More representative of the "golden Age" of the Stuka...

    Hi Hubbabubba,

    I was thinking more along the lines of something like this:
    http://imageshack.us/f/202/page115.jpg/

    Careful though. This image is heavy. I even found the book that this came from (published by Kagero in their Monografie series). It doesn't have a D model drawing.

    I like building the best version of an aircraft and the D is the better version. There already are a couple B models out that are quite reasonable.

    I believe the prop is 3.3 meters diameter.

    D-1 through D-3 used the same wing as the B series.
    The D-5 had a longer wing which I believe comes to a sharper point at the tip.

    I am still trying to figure out which of the D models was the best. If I were to build one, it would have the dive brakes even though most were removed in the field.

    - Ivan.

    hello Dave, just checked this one out.
    low and behold, it's the James Elwood model.
    one of my all time faves to fly.

    hello Ivan,
    long ago, you gave me a link to a site
    that was dedicated to unfinished models.
    by chance, do you still have that link
    and would you please share it again?

    Hi Smilo,

    Is this the place you were thinking of? I generally find lots of good stuff here. I linked to the Military Aircraft which is generally what I am interested in.

    The dive speed of the Stuka B is 600 kph (375 mph)
    The dive speed of the Stuka D is 650 kph (400 mph)

    Bomb release is around 1500 feet.

    - Ivan.

    Does that Lysander AFX have a 3D Cowl Ring and Engine? Many years ago, I modified a version I downloaded to add those features and sent it back to Mr. Elwood. I also changed the Propeller on that plane.

    Junkers Ju 88G Night Fighter

    Is there any interest out there for a Ju 88 Night Fighter? I don't I have ever seen one for CFS. I am not proposing a project. I am just curious. BTW, this was a plane that was capable of just over 400 mph at 30,000 feet which is pretty hot stuff if you aren't a Mosquito.

    - Ivan.
