      @@marlwinperez1138 well… I live in Texas, 4 hot years in the garage had warped the wing a bit so it had some wicked yaw. Was also first time I’d flown in a few years. Still glad to say I finally got it off the ground and was able to get it through a battery before I finally lost control haha.

    I have built SO MANY of these! It's the plane that recorded all the flight vids I have up. My favorite thing to do is wind surfing for like an hour on a single 2200 3cell lipo. In 25-35 or so mph wind and with a 20+ foot streamer hanging off the tail skid I park my Storch up at 300' and just kill the engine and hover it there in one spot. I love this plane so much. Thanks ^_^

    He makes it look so easy :D Took me 3+ evenings to make mine, and even then the landing gear is a bit off. First build so not surprised, should have started on the Nutball.
    Funny thing is I could hear Josh all the time ::
    "Remember, extra glue is not extra strength, its extra weight"
    "Use your table as a friend"
    "Now I'm just going to take a bit of scrap foam and wipe off the excess"
    "Be sure to get all those little bits of foam out of there"
    "Now I'm just going to take my razor and ..."

      FLITE TEST INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY SPARSE. The videos move fast, much is left out. Instructions are disjointed e.g., power pod instructions are hard to find and are separate from all of the airplane build videos this is pure laziness on Flite Test's part. They do not even provide the link to additional instructions. They make it look easy but it is not easy the sales effort is real slick they have no interest in slowing instructional build videos down they just sell sell sell. Their indexing of build information is hap hazard semi organized all information is not in one place or consolidated, even though they think it is organized it is not. Older information is harder to find. Power pod instructions hard to come by.

      @@jmitsch44827 ok, so 4 years has now past, what model would you recommend now with 4 years of research and technology behind our belt? have they improved the plane? is the landing hear nightmare fixed? i read over and over about the landing gear. Flite-Test is a first - rate community organization, i would assume it's all fixed by now in their speed-build kit, is this the case or not the case? as for the extra materials needed, have they added things to the list like the servo extensions and things like that and stuff like this? Just curious and I appreciate your help on this !!!!!

    If anyone buys this kit here's a pro tip. The Power Pack (C) doesn't come with enough servo wire for the whole plane, order more. It comes with four 12 inch wires, once doubled up is enough for the wing only. You'll need to either buy at least 2 more 12inch wires or 2 24in. It's not a big deal, but it would be really annoying if you didn't have any extra laying around.

    I utilized the round servo horns included with the power pack servos as the reinforcement for the power pod. I used the nifty Philips screwdriver provided to widen the center of the servo horn (where it attaches to the servo) just enough to fit the skewer through it. I passed the skewer through the fuselage and through the servo horn on the interior of the fuselage *female teath facing in. I pressed it into the foam and followed up with glue wile I turned the skewer to maintain passage. works like a charm👍

    Josh, as usual educating and entertaining. Thank You! (you actually left out a lot of actuallys as well). As for upcoming episodes, I'd love to see an exploration and build off in different materials, pick a rather simple plane like the VersaWing and try it in Foam Board vs Depron vs XPS vs Corflute vs Cardboard and/or other applicable materials and se pros and cons between the different materials and how to counteract the cons (like pre-taping depron etc.). It would be VERY educating and help builders around the world who have problems getting hold of Dollar Tree Foam or similar. You do have world wide fans :)

  • @PopeMark100
    @PopeMark100 9 лет назад

    Great plane. Only had a couple of problems. The wire I got in the pack was so thick that I had to use a vise and a hammer to bend it and it wouldn't fit in the gaps designated for the wire. Also the straw would not fit over the wire so I just have the foam wheels and nothing else. The other thing was the fitting of the esc and battery and the accessibility of the receiver. But other then that it was a really fun build and I would definitely do it again. 👍

    The one missing thing in your videos is guidance on mounting the batteries securely in the planes and on this particular kit. The routing needed to connect a battery to the ESC. Standard cable in the power kits is not long enough unless you cut a hole in the power pod. Cutting holes to to this and other elements of the electronics setup for each kit would be very helpful. Just finished the basic assembly of my Storch tonight. Tomorrow painting and final trim items before the Maiden flight.

  • @drivebrake
    @drivebrake 5 лет назад

    I noticed the small opening in the bottom of the wing for wiring is directly at the paint stick joint. That could be opened up the entire width of the fuselage and still be unseen when the wing is attached to the plane. That would allow the addition of a small flat bracket iron bent in the middle the same amount as the dihedral and screwed on across the paint sticks. This would reinforce the dihedral angle and make the wing even stronger. Probably unnecessary; but maybe still a good idea.

      i'd also like to see some more complex designs with flaps, retractable leading edge slats, very easy/basic/sturdy retracts. I have a design for LE slats using a foam spar and thick note card paper in my head just havent had the chance to put it on paper or actually physically design it yet.

    @animishaalagappa2327 3 года назад

    Inspired from the simple storch, I designed my own variant of it, with a smaller size, and a larger wing surface area..... He flies superbly....and he's pretty durable for a single layer fuselage...
    (EDITED) And he's gone now.....ESC burnt up mid flight...

    I have been reinforcing the holes that the skewers pass through with Pieces of Gift cards cut in 1/2 in to 5/8 inch squares with a hole drilled in the center and glued just as Josh did with the pieces of ply wood. It is easy and doesnt need special tools.

    Hot glue does not "dry", rather it cools and solidifies.

    Make sure to use loctite on those little metal things on the servos. It will eventually unscrew...I learned that the hard way.

    • @DFX2KX
      @DFX2KX 10 лет назад

      And... Use good servos, just, in general. Now a failed servo killing some foam isn't as bad as a wrecked 6 channel.heli, but crashes are never fun.

    Hey, I know this video is really old, but I have three questions for anyone who knows a little about this stuff:
    1) Would you recommend I (a complete noob) get this for my first plane ever?
    2) Can I make a cargo bay underneath in order to drop say water balloons or stink bombs with another servo, without compromising the structural integrity of the fuselage?
    3) Can I cut holes in the front to add FPV and small action cameras?

    • @MyBigThing2010
      @MyBigThing2010 7 лет назад

      An Audi RS6 1) ft tiny trainer or ft explorer 2) yes 3) depends in your planes center of gravity and how you set up the electronics to find out what you can mount and where. Fpv on planes can be done from the top very effectively and allows you to keep your CG un-dicked with.

    When building is Ad Tech 2 temp cordless because that all I can fine and the glue stick below are they good enough? You make it look to easy to build. I want to buy tools before I buy the kit.
    Would these "surebonder 10" all purpose gule sticks - 20/pack - clear (dt2010)
