I had a few Cox c/l planes as a kid before I discovered that " Balsa Flies Better" , but always wanted the Stuka. A friend in high school had one, and it had the usual Stuka lifespan of 1.5 laps. He gave me the remains, and over time I collected odd bits to piece it back together, minus fwd Canopy, siren props and bomb. For Christmas this year Santa scoured e-bay and found one cheap enough to avoid confrontation with the CFO ( wife). I used a sharpie to color the canopy frame so it looks better, otherwise this is how it came out of the box
