The Stuka cannot slip through the air and perform high alpha stunts with ease like the FT Spitfire, but beginner pilots can put it through its paces without fear of losing control or orientation. The flip side of such solid stability is lack of maneuverability. The Stuka was able to perform tight turns using only rudder and elevator control. Although it is a clean bank-and-yank flyer – as noted by beta builders – yaw authority is extremely powerful. However, the most authoritative control on the Stuka is the rudder. The inverted gull wing lifted the Stuka through the sky with ease at a wide range of speeds. Although the ailerons and elevator have minimal control surface areas, they have generous authority on turns. The model did not bite, no matter how hard I banked during tight turns and the wing showed no sign of flexing. The most pleasantly surprising characteristics of the Beta Stuka pertained to tight turns. But the moment the legendary diver flew out of my hands, we knew that it was a winner! Despite excessive rightward thrust, the Beta model flew wonderfully, cutting smooth lines and pulling scale stunts, flying rock-stable all the while. The questionable thrust angle, the drooping wheel pants and the extreme angles on the inverted gull wing were not the most aerodynamically reassuring features on the Stuka.
We were very nervous on the day of the first flight of the Beta model. It is recommended to use 3s 850 and 4s 650 packs if you are worried about leaving space for thick power wires, so that the hatch can close cleanly. Battery space is limited in this design but we were able to fit 3s 1100 mAh and 4s 850 mAh packs without having to force wires into tight spaces. As with the Mini P40, the scoops on this model are designed to accommodate common brushless ESC’s, such that your power plant can remain cool during flight. The detailing on the Stuka is iconic and presents many options for you to decorate your model as you please, without having to worry about damaging flight characteristics. The construction process is the same for the two variants, with a couple of simple differences that are specified on the guide. Each has a different scoop and different details such as shells and autocannons, but you can improvise as you wish to customize your model. Two variants of the Stuka, the ‘B’ and ‘G’ versions are provided on the plans. Many components such as the wheel pants and the wing may seem intimidating, but simply follow the build guide and take each step slowly, and you should have a clean Ju 87 on your worktable in no time. It should take only a few hours to assemble and prepare for flight. Despite the presence of molded foam pieces and some scale details, the Simple Stuka – true to its name – is not a tedious or involved build.
