Yes the real ones did. I think someone has or is in the process of doing a bent wing Stuka.
Our semi-scale stunters try to imitate or make an impression of thereal thing. They are by no means scale. But for the Al Rabes and a few others of course.

Mike;

 One was done by Jack Sheeks, it was featured in Flying Models 7-70. It had a 58" Wing span. The plans were CF 212 and may still be available. One other that I know of was done by Hi Johnson, maybe Jim Ivey will chime in here and give us more info. Both of these featured "Bent Wings"

"Billy G"   <= <= <=

 More search has found that the Hi Johnson "Stuka" was featured in the MAN Annual 1960, plans are available from Barry Baxter. It had a 59" Wing Span and according to Barry no flaps?

Rich Giacabone is building a bent wing stuka with a RoJett .90 for power!!! Windy sends updated pictures around almost weekly. I will ask if Rich if he minds me posting some pictures for those who are interested.

For a flapless plane ,the Johnson Stuka with an aerotiger is a very good flying airplane. At 43oz it was really hard to believe what a corner it has.
Its presence in the air is also very different.

Gordon,
Here are a couple of pics of the plans.  Remember you can build your design using this airfoil and wing planform.  You could also use a different wingspan which would result in a different aspect ratio.  Notice how fat the airfoil is.

Jack Sheeks brought this one to VSC 16 but didn't fly it.
