Haha thanks. Blame Hitler! It was his master plan. Paint a Stuka like a RAF plane, sneak in and bomb the Stonehenge visitor's center, thus decreasing revenue and essentially hampering the British war machine!

Apparently taken out / removed by the ground crews. By the time Battle of Britain no Stuka had it. It slowed down the plane by some 20-40 km/h.

Really? I didn't hear or read ANYTHING about taking the siren off until late 1943.

I am just quoting someone else on this forums. Makes sense though, by 1943 Stuka was way obsolete.

Nice Vid! But I couldn't help but notice that in the recovery climbout the dive brakes were still extended. Makes for a slow exit.
Was that intentional or a bug?

I noticed that as well, I have to manually retract them every time, the manual states that they should retract automatically. I flew for quite some time and the airbrake never went up on its own, so I'm assuming its a bug.
