Thank you for purchasing the Sturmovik IL-2 from Skyshark
R/C. For the first time, R/C enthusiasts have a choice in scale
aircraft designs. Our goal, through computer technology and
state-of-the-art production techniques, is to offer aircraft which
in the past have not been modeled simply because they
weren’t popular enough to justify mass production. Our pro-
duction techniques allow us to produce aircraft which, though
not as popular and well known as P- 1s and P-47s, still offer
historical significance (good or bad!), Good looks and flying
characteristics, and a uniqueness that is sure to turn heads
wherever you take your airplane!
CAD Design
CAD design allows strength to be built into the airplane without
sacrificing weight. Accurate parts design and placement en-
sures a perfect fit.
CAD D awn Plans
The plans in this kit are not copied from a master set! They
are originals drawn directly from the CAD program where the
airplane was designed. We do this because it allows us to use
color, which helps you better visualize the various components
of the airplane, and we can use better quality paper, which
greatly reduces the possibility of shrinkage. Since you’re
going to build directly on the plans, they ought to be the
proper size! Also, parts placement is guaranteed to be accu-
rate, so you can build a better, straighter model.
Lase Cut Pa ts
The same program that generates the design and plans also
drives the laser, so every part is reproduced exactly as it was
designed. Laser cutting also allows us to fit more parts on
each sheet of wood, reducing the waste, and lowering the cost
to you. Since laser cutting does not have the same limitations
that mechanical cutters do, small and hard-to-produce parts
are simply a computer file away, so you get a more accurate
airplane.
Plastics and Fibe glass
The cowl is accurately reproduced in fiberglass. The canopy
and gear pods are accurately reproduced in clear plastic. The
scale exhaust stacks are molded from tough ABS plastic.
Engine Options
Engine choices range from .61 to .91 2-strokes, or .91 to 1.20
4-strokes. The sliding firewall design allows you to easily po-
sition your choice of engine and guarantees perfect alignment
every time.
Elect ic Option
We offer an electric conversion pack. This pack contains all
the parts required to make a battery hatch and firewall design
for brushless outrunner motors and lithium polymer batteries.
Please visit our website for availability and ordering informa-
tion.
There are many different options when it comes to electric mo-
tors. We used our Lightning 7 outrunner with a 6 cell
000mAh lipo battery on our prototype. Anything in the range
of 1000+ watts will be more than adequate for this airframe.
You should contact your favorite electric supplier for the
proper power package.
Gea & Ret act Options
Gear location has been modified from scale because of the
wing spar location and the thickness of the wing. We have
slightly modified the gear pods to reflect this change and cre-
ate a scale appearance when the gear is retracted. Retract in-
stallation is shown on the plans and explained in these
instructions for any electric or air operated 90 degree retracts.
You will notice that fixed gear is not presented as an option.
So many people install retracts, we felt that not designing the
standard fixed gear mounts gave us much more flexibility in
design.
Se vo Choices
There are many different servos available in all sizes and
torque ranges. The Sturmovik was designed to use standard
size servos in the 0 or more oz. in. range. Servo sizes can be
changed by the builder as long as they have a torque rating
of at least 0 oz.
Flaps
Flap on the Sturmovik have been modified from scale so they
could easily be made fully functional. All the servo reinforce-
ments are included in the kit, as well as instructions of how to
build and actuate the flaps.
Cockpit Detail
A fully detailed, fully researched laser cut and engraved cock-
pit is included in the kit. In fact, the cockpit is built along with
the fuselage and many of the parts are structural members of
the fuselage.

ing edge at the wing fillet.

Gene al Building Info mation
The Sturmovik can be built by a person with average building
skills. Certain steps in the building process must be followed
as depicted, or you might find yourself digging back into the
structure to redo something. These areas are outlined when
necessary.
There are a few areas that may be considered advanced con-
struction techniques, such as strip planking, but what we’ve
done to simplify this are things like laser cutting the planks!
The fuselage has some compound curves and can be sheeted
in one piece but you can also create your own strip planks in
those areas if it is easier for you.
Occasionally hints will be included at certain building steps.
These are not required for completion, rather they are tips in-
tended to ease a particular process.
Photos in this manual are taken from numerous builds as
changes were being made, so some of the parts may not
match your part exactly. The photos are for reference only and
variations will not affect your build.
The laser does not cut through the wood, it burns its way
through. As a result of this, occasionally there will be scorch-
ing on the surface of the wood. This is normal, and is only a
surface discoloration, and does not affect the wood in any
other way. Similarly, the laser settings are optimized for wood
density averages, so occasionally, due to variations even in
individual sheets, some areas might not cut through com-
pletely. This is apparent mainly with the plywood or harder
balsa. Simply use care in removing the parts from the sheets;
most of the time, the parts will literally fall out of the sheets!
Hardware and a motor mount are not included in the kit. There
are so many choices for quality hardware that these choices
are left to the individual preferences of the builder, rather than
include something in the kit that you’ll probably throw away
anyway. A vibration-dampening motor mount is recom-
mended for use regardless of engine choice, so select a
mount suited to your particular engine.
This aircraft is not a toy. It must be flown in a responsible man-
ner according to the rules set forth by the Academy of Model
Aeronautics. The builder assumes the responsibility for the
proper assembly and operation of this product. Skyshark R/C
shall have no liability whatsoever, implied or expressed, arising
out of the intentional or unintentional neglect, misuse, abuse,
or abnormal usage of this product. Skyshark R/C shall have
no liability whatsoever arising from the improper or wrongful
assembly of the product nor shall it have any liability due to
the improper or wrongful use of the assembled product.
Skyshark R/C shall have no liability for any and all additions,
alterations, and modifications of this product.
Having said that mouthful, turn the page and start building the
best airplane on the market!

Note: You will need to route the retract, lap and aileron
wires close to the leading edge o the wing so they come
out o the wing about 1” back rom where the leading
edge meets the uselage. This will keep the wires rom
getting tangled with the elevator and rudder servo.

Note: When sheeting the wing with 1/16” balsa, try to do
most o the sanding be ore glueing the sheeting in place.
This will keep your air rame smooth. Also, try and
choose harder balsa or the center o the wing and so ter
on the edges.
