Vic,
I have done this, a couple things you need to do if you are converting an IC ship. I used a front mount, use at least 3/16" plywood mount with two small wood screws per side through the fuse plywood sides to hold the mount (flat side on the mount) as well as epoxy (you might be able to get the nose mount from Tom Morris pre-drilled). Second, you need to hollow the top block very thin to allow the battery to be positioned about 1/3 back over the wing leading edge. Make sure you allow room for the battery to puff a little (I had mine a little to close and had to go back and open it up to fit and keep the balance). The flaps on mine were a bit flexible, I would cover them with silkspan/dope then cover with film to keep them stiff. The ship flies very well on electric but you need enough battery, I tried 4S-2100 mah and it is OK for OTS but short for PA/Classic, go with 4S-2500. Here is the set-up:
E Don Still Stuka

Ship is 42" span, 36 oz dry, 44 oz with battery
Motor = turnigy 35 42B - 1000
Battery = TP 2100 Pro Lite 4S1P
Timer = Ztron 3
ESC Phoenix 35 CC link 3.255, CL Governor - fixed rpm mode, spool custom 8, Governor gain 30, Head Speed change rate -8, 14.8 battery, rpm 9000, motor start med 59, motor timing 8, direct drive, forward, PwM Rate 16 Khz, Brake 100 (hard), Brake delay 0.2, Brake ramp Fast, Cut off - Lipo/normal

Lines = 0.015,  59" C to C
Lap time = 5.0
Flight time 5m, 10sec

Vincent,

I've seen Dennis' Stuka fly a few times. It flies as smooth as silk and it's a great looking model!
