Presently, I'm posting a series of building tutorials on Stuka Stunt. These explain, in great detail, nearly all of the techniques needed to build a competition stunt ship with dihedral, fully sheeted wing, and shock gear. The series has run to 5 postings so far and includes more than a hundred and twenty five explained photographs.
Why not here? I dono. I've posted photos on stuka Stunt ever since they fixed the site to accept photos years ago, long before Stunt Hangar appeared as a web site. I'm comfortable with that process for posting large photos inserted into the text. I've never figured out how to do that here. In any case, it is a lot of work, too much to duplicate. Each post with five photos takes me about four hours to write, to say nothing of the time spent photographing and videoing the build. I enjoy the work. It seems like a worthy project. I hope this explanation for why I'm not posting here is accepted as having nothing to do with any opinion of the relative value of these two websites. I post here when I see something I feel qualified to comment on.
the series begins with:
Design of the Mustunt IV
Design and Construction of the Mustunt IV part 2
Mustunt IV, part 3, Basic Building Techniques
Mustunt IV, part 4, Basic building Techniques
Mustunt IV, part 5, Basic Building Techniques
There is more to come as I get around to it. give it a try, you might like it.

Al,
I have been following your postings with great interest. I am not a very good "intuitive" builder, but I can follow instructions extremely well. You mentioned in your post that you were videoing the building. Do you offer, or do you plan to offer, a video of this building tutorial. I would be very interested in purchasing one.
I really appreciate your effort in this. I have learned a lot and I now feel comfortable enough to try to incorporate some of these techniques. Thank you.

Hi Al
It is very simple to post photos here, when you click the reply button, the screen that comes up say "additional options" Just click this and you will see where you attach photos to your post, and you can then attach more photos if you like, up to 10 photos on 1 post.
Also you can post 100kb photos .

Steve,
There will be a set of building videos available. The set will run 6 VHS videos at $80 for the set which doesn't include finishing. I really wish I could do these on DVD and maybe soon I will be able to. We'll see.
