Dick Mathis Profile stuka
« on: June 02, 2011, 07:59:21 AM »
Hi Guys,

Anyone have the June 1973 article in M.A.N. on building the Dick Mathis Profile stuka?
I have wanted to build this plane since `73! I have purchased Walter U. kit and am looking forward to building it, but would like to read the article first, if possible.

Thanks!

I have mine on the paint stand as we speak.  Unfortunately, I cannot blow air hard enough and long enough to spray paint through the gun! LOL!!  I built mine from the magazine plans before Walter (Mike Griffin) brought out the kits.  A new compressor has to be had, and soon!

The red nose, yellow rudder and wing tips, and white outline crosses are painted on waiting to be back masked and shot the overall color.  First engine will be a Leo .37.  English made, twin ball bearing, very similar to the compact, square head, Magnum .36 XLIIS.  It runs a bit more "break" than the Magnum, but about the same power level.

Biull,
Leo's are made in taiwan. As I understand it the owner is a relative of the owner of Thunder Tigre.
