I fly light, high wing airplanes and this is a master class in keeping the damn thing under control (for the most part). Everyone has a wing lifted on them - taxiing is it's own adventure! I'll watch this video a number of times to see what I can glean from it. Great stuff.
Is it a bird ? Is it a kite ? Is it a plane ? "Don't be silly ! It's all three flown by some crazy brave Man ! " anyways I think I need a lay down now ! ❤😉🙃😎 NZ
I’m designing my own Storche now. How cool for this subject to come along. Great video Quality. I wouldn’t fly on a day like this putting the model at risk.
Blimey! It was certainly blowing a storm. For a moment, I thought I saw it flying backwards. 😂 i’ve got to take my hat off to the pilot, for flying it in those conditions. 😊
G'day, Have ye not seen Nestor Slepcev's Storch ? He used Extruded Aluminium Street-Signs, For Wing-Spars... And 2 people can sit in it And go Levitating, With a Rotax Motor...! Before that, he built a 7/8 Scale Me/Bf-109, using a Piper Navaho's all-moving Stabilator Inverted As a Wing.... It looked GREAT, Flying... But when asked about it, he stated that when Turning from Base onto Final Approach, his Anxiety levels caused his Feet to twitch involuntarily on the Rudder Pedals....; And about One Landing out of every Five, He Pissed himself, While flaring, Coming over the Fence.... When asked, "Really, if it's THAT Scary...; Then why Do you fly Such a dangerous Hairygoplane....?" And, Nestor Slepcev's Answer was...., "Well, Y'see...; It's REALLY Fcukin' FAST....!" And after hearing that, I kinda lost interest in scaled-down Ultralight "WW-2 Fighters"... But the Storch is pretty much a Heavy-Duty Piper-J-3 Cub ; but with a V-8 Argus instead of a 4-cylinder Continental ("Dependable As The Nation !", it said on the Hub-Plate of VH-FZY, the Cub in which I had my first Lesson, in 1978...!), And Flaps, And Slats/Slots, And Droop-able Ailerons... So, think Piper-Cub/Westland Lysander - Equivalent. I have the impression that Slepcev Storch Kits finished up being built in AmeriKa... But Nestor's probably dead from Oldness of the Age..., By nowadayze...(?). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
Well done indeed in those conditions
Hats off for the pilot !!!!!
That really is a nice looking plane, and i'm sure it is much easier to fly when 'gale force' winds are not blowing! 😊
Yes indeed

thanks
wonderful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good grief! I think I saw some corn blowing off the stalks! What a nice Storch though!
A great and big modell airplane, bravo !
It flies really scale !

you guys are brave in that wind good pilots
Nice scale detail on this iconic historical aircraft. 🙂👍🛩
Many thanks!

Flip me. That was brave!

A bit windy that day? Plane looked great and flew very nice. Excellent video as always.
thanks jack
Have literally just finished by Blackhorse Storch, too wet and cold here in Southern Australia to fly at the moment.
It's too windy for this light stork !
Well done
Well done. I wouldn't try that with my big J3
G'day,
Have ye not seen
Nestor Slepcev's
Storch ?
He used Extruded Aluminium Street-Signs,
For Wing-Spars...
And 2 people can sit in it
And go
Levitating,
With a Rotax
Motor...!
Before that, he built a 7/8 Scale Me/Bf-109, using a Piper Navaho's all-moving
Stabilator
Inverted
As a
Wing....
It looked
GREAT,
Flying...
But when asked about it, he stated that when
Turning from Base onto
Final Approach, his
Anxiety levels caused his
Feet to twitch involuntarily on the
Rudder Pedals....;
And about
One Landing out of every Five,
He
Pissed himself,
While flaring,
Coming over the Fence....
When asked,
"Really, if it's
THAT
Scary...;
Then why
Do you fly
Such a dangerous
Hairygoplane....?"
And,
Nestor Slepcev's
Answer was....,
"Well,
Y'see...;
It's
REALLY Fcukin'
FAST....!"
And after hearing that, I kinda lost interest in scaled-down Ultralight "WW-2 Fighters"...
But the Storch is pretty much a Heavy-Duty Piper-J-3 Cub ; but with a V-8 Argus instead of a 4-cylinder Continental ("Dependable As The Nation !", it said on the Hub-Plate of VH-FZY, the Cub in which I had my first Lesson, in 1978...!),

By nowadayze...(?).
Such is life,

;-p
Ciao !
thanks warbs
Just like the original one. It didn't like to much wind either. If he'd put the flaps down it'd be flying in reverse.
Pete...this is almost painful to watch. Did the "Supreme Leader" say you vill fly dis thing or else? Very courageous. I almost had to look away. Jim
lol - it seemed to handle the wind very well jim,
Why does it look like the prop isn't spinning much?
Stroboscopic effect, just like carriage's wheels turning backward in movies.
no - its because its on a reduction drive for more torque !

We really need to buy you a decent wind sock for your microphone.
