IL-2M3 Sturmovik Build Log

That looks excellent!

I agree with the switch to desert camo too - much classier

Thanks

I like the desert camo also, but I like brown. Your plane looks like it handles real good and your flying like you have done it for awhile. It looked great.

Flight #2 for the IL2-M3, all great again other then a little rougher landing the broke the landing gear off but a simple fix with some hot glue.

Somehow I missed this video. Beautiful flight! She seemed really stable considering the wind conditions and you managed to bring her home without a nose-in (Which is my normal way of landing). Oh, I was right: She DID look spectacular in the air!

Looking at the Desert Camo scheme you posted later on. I agree with everyone else. It seriously works on that bird!

It actually handles really nice even in the wind, the pilot is way less then the plane.

Very stable right out of the box and that doesn't happen often for me. Landings, I always seem to over correct right at the last minute and flare it up and then of course pancake it.

Finally a decent day to go out and fly. The IL2-M3 with it's new color looks good in the air and my landing was a little smoother this time.

After the combat wars one single flight with the IL2 M3 , really liking how this guy flies I am even doing inverted with it and it seems really stable even upside down.

You make it look so easy. I really enjoy watching you fly.

Well I did run a battery through this guy today, such a nice easy flier .

Looks like your fly zone is pretty awesome - plenty of space for miles!

It is wide open out there, any little wind though you know it.

Just to let you people know that if you are interested in any of my plans just ask. Mine are from professional so no swearing allowed. I don't have any build instructions but I do take build photos as I go along and can always help you out that way. Could even start a thread on it and post that way.

Hi @Wildthing! I just covered the history of the plane in the soon-to-come-out ARCN podcast. Do you have any plans for this great model you designed and built here? I would love to point folks to it if they wish to build one. If nothing else - I would like to build one. I imagine someone (me) building a cluster bomb drop using snap pops one box to a pod.

I do have plans but they are for 6mm foam plus the method of "score & fold"
