Here are a few of mine from Tuesday:

Cool! Was this intended to fly or just taxi? There was a flying sub-scale Stuka years ago as I recall.

Are you thinking of this Stuka?

Looks to be the same build. Boy would it be neat if someone acquired both and flew them as a pair. What an act!

There were a couple of Stuka replicas built up from old Percival Proctors for the Battle of Britain movie by Viv Bellamy, the "Proctukas". I think I read they didn't handle too well and so the film relied on RC models to get the shots.

That's the one I was thinking of! Yes, a flight of two would be awesome!

The Stuka replica that was for sale at Airventure by Gino Lucci (Round Engine Aero) is not a same build as the Langhurst Stuka.

Langhurst Stuka: 70% scale; metal frame and skin; fully airworthy
Lucci Stuka: 60% scale...and...??

If I could get the cash together I'd buy the Langhurst replica in a heartbeat!

Gino was kind enough to reply to my plea for info on a Facebook page for AirVenture 2022:

I do I own / owned it. Someone purchased it
