storch

My computer died many months ago. I have no way to print plans or play War Thunder and my life has been incomplete Haha. Anyways, could someone please help me figure how to build a 2 sheet, high wing, 3-4 channel, 36"-48" span, single or twin engine plane I can gain flying experience with...

I had in mind, a simple puppy or a storch. I have read that the storm is better and more stable, but I feel that it is very big. If I print it, will the 88% scale of the actual plane fly well (1280mm)? I have a 2212 1000kw motor, I add diebro and flaps. Another option is the simple size cube...

I've finished my Storch scratch build, and have set up controls on my Spektrum DX6i transmitter and old 6 ch .Spektrum receiver. All the surfaces work and are centered. I went for the flaps option with two servos ( facing same way) on a Y lead. I have read countless contradicting tutorials on...

OK Gentlemen, it's time for me to put up or shut up!! :geek::eek: Some People think I'm biting off more than I can chew....... They may be right!! But I've got to try. I tend to overreach like that. Besides, as many fine People here say "It's just Foam!" This is my FIRST FT Aircraft Build, and...

I'm just looking for friendly talk/help to help me get through this winter here in Northern Michigan. It does not permit many good flying opportunities... I had a chance to fly my Storch 1 time (the day before the snow came, and has not stopped snowing for more then a week), but crashed it many...

Hi friends, This Group has been so generous to this Disabled OLD Veteran so far, and I couldn't be more grateful. I've got a 6 Channel Radio, Motors, Servos, Wheels, Wire, 7 sheets of DTFB, Batteries and detail items. I just don't think that a scratchbuild, should be my very first Aircraft...

Hello, 1st post here. A friend of mine who flies locally got me excited about getting back into foamies. As a background, my first - and only - foamie I've owned was the infamous Supercub LP RTF. Took me no time to fly and master it. Till I managed to crash it nosefirst - and my...

Hi all! Thought I would share my recently completed build of a 3 channel modification based on the FT Simple Storch - this one has come about due to the need of something nice and simple to introduce my 10 year old nephew to the art of aeromodelling. The general goal here was a simple three...

Hi All, first post here. Self assessing I would like to believe i am at the higher end of the novice spectrum and I can fly a Nano Talon without gyro quite well. I really enjoy slow flyers so I bought a Simple Storch, I am planning Flaperons and Fixed but removable Leading edge slats. I...

Hey guys, I just made my first mini review of my FT Simple Storch out of Hobbyking foamboard ( actually only the frontside is made out of that foamboard). I hope you guys enjoy this video and I'm sorry for my English pronunciation ( English isn't my native tongue) . Hoping to get more...

Hi everyone, I just completed my Storch and took it out for a maiden attempt on Thanksgiving day. This is the biggest plane I have maidened, and it is my first 4 channel that does not include a gyro stabilizer. I have expo dialed in at 30% and dual rate is at 70%. I built it with flaps, and...

I am in the middle of scratch building my wing and I noticed I did not have a gap in between the two halves like Josh mentions in the video for Dihedral angle. I am going to attempt to flex the wing without the gap and see what happens. But, what if it was built with no dihedral? Would it skid...

I am in the process of scratch building a new Storch, as my old one is getting towards the end of its life, including the motor... In my internet searches I am having a problem finding any motor recommendations for the Storch. So far I have found this one that looks good, Turnigy D3530/14...

The title says it all. is there a better pushrod other than the ones in the speedbuild kit? I am seeing allot of flex on the elevator pushrod and some flex on the rest. I saw the post about making stiffer pushrods, but I'm just looking for something a little stiffer without all that work...

I just built the Simple Storch from the water-resistant foam board speed build kit. I also copied each part and built a second Storch along the way out of Elmers foam board. Although I've been flying R/C for more than 20 years, this is my first foam board build. My speed build Storch has...

This is my first post so ... Hello everyone! I just finished my first FT build -- the Simple Storch! Great kit. Easy build and it flies great! Just have two flights on it so far, but really enjoying building with foam board! Steve

I have built two planes - FT Old Speedster and FT Storch and have not been able to fly them. I have a B (single) power pack and a C (single) power pack. I made a decision to stick with LifePO4 batteries, so I bought a couple Zippy 2100 3S 30C. They weigh 218g and only provide 9.9v. I put the...

Over the past few months, I've been held down by end of school study, FIRST Robotics, and other commitments, but I've finally been able to complete my first 'scratch' build. Using the laser cutter provided by a Design Studio at a local vocational technology school, I was able to CAD trace the...

Hi all! Name's Aris and I am from Greece. I only lately started building planes (with the FT method). While I tremendously enjoy building the planes (I have built the Nutball, the flyer, the delta, the old fogey, the tiny trainer AND the storch), I haven't been very lucky flying any of them ...

Just a couple of pics of my completed winter project. No real deviations to report from the build video. I will say bending the landing gear was a real pain. It took forever and it's still not straight. All in all a fun build. I went with flaperons, leading edge slats and Armée de l'Air...
