In 1977/78 an U.S. engineer named Louis Langhurst in Minesota designed a flyable Ju87 replica in a scale of 7:10. The basic pattern for this replica was taken from the Chicago Ju87. A total of 8000 Manhours were necessary to complete this flyable Ju87 replica, which is powered by a 220PS Lycoming engine. On 19.07.1978 this replica performed its first flight with Langhurst. The aircraft is painted in the colors of the III./StG2 and registered T6+AD. For flying performances the aircraft is registered N87LL. From 1981 to 1990 this aircraft was on display at the San Diego Aerospace Museum. Then the aircraft was sold to Richard Erzenberger and today it seemed to be owned by Roland Weeks in Billox, Mississippi. This aircraft is currently for sale. Total Flight Time 418 hours.
