Bill, Let me know when you get that canopy done, I'll take you up on it! I'll probably try the 190 first, never done an I beamer.
Guess, let me know if anyone has any Stuka questions, I can ask Jack in a couple of weeks, or he answers email as well.
I was thinking an LA46 might be a reasonable cost effective choice. St46's are pricey!! I have an ST40 that I'd probably put on the 190 though
HI Dennis,
It shouldn't be too long now before I am making canopies. I will let you know ASAP.
As to I-Beamers, you will find that they are quick and easy to build. The hardest part is cutting all the ribs! LOL!! There is even a picture of how to jig the fuselage/wing on the corner of the FW 190 plans. I use three uprights on the LE and TE to keep them straight while building. I make them out of 1/4" scrap, tack them to the glass table and them pin them on a C/L to the TE and LE.
Jim Lynch had (still has??) a beautiful Sheek's 190 that he flew at the NATS, IIRC, using an OS .35S. It is not a big model and can be built pretty light. The ST .40 should be plenty, of course many would probably say use the LA .46, but getting the right prop clearance might be "iffy".
I would use the .46LA if a ST .46 is shown on the plans. With the run characteristics of the LA I think it would power the bigger Stuka with no problems.
