Looks great, do you think a cobra 2300kv airplane motor is to overkill?

Cool deal! I don't have Photoshop, so I would have to figure out another alternative. I'm currently flying the Tiny Trainer but did print and cut out the plans for the Simple Storch, but never got around to actually cutting the foam pieces out. I really like this style of plane right now, not sure why, but I do. I've built more than a few planes, mostly being the jets from RC Powers, but this one, once i build it, will have the biggest wingspan of them all!! The best part about your plane and the others is most people would have no idea that it was built by hand and would think it was store bought! Again, good job to everyone's designs on this thread!
Side note, what kind of adhesive did you use on the tissue paper?
3M Repositionable spray (or equivalent) to attach the tissue to the carrier sheet for printing.
3M 77 spray (or equivalent) on the foam part to attach it to the tissue.
Ha ha! I was flying and got caught in a sudden downpour. I tore the nose off in order to replace it. The rest of the plane is in decent shape. Decent enough, anyway.

I go with flaperons also and don't use a Y harness, I connect my other servo to the aux channel.
Cheers.

Ok, so I don't run flaps yet because I am a noob, and have no idea how to use them lol. I just hooked a Y harness up, and ran it into the Aileron channel. I have a Spektrum DX7, not an S if that helps. Is this setup wrong? The build video said that the aileron setup I have is for beginners, but I was a little confused. I flew it last night, and it seemed to work fine but I have nothing to base it off of lol.
Also, there was a solid breeze of 5-10mph, and the plane was very difficult to control. However, my FT F22 bucked the wind just fine. I guess it's that huge wing surface on the Storch? Anyway, I will stop hijacking the thread now, and try to post some pics of my Storch to get it back on track

hey there all,
I realize this is not exactly on-topic but I figured it would be a good place to get the answers I'm looking for.
I'll likely try to at least get started building a storch this weekend. I don't yet have the power system components for it but I'd like to attempt to do as much of the build as possible this weekend.
Just want to assure that I have all the materials I will need.
DTFB, glue sticks obviously. Watching the build video I'll obviously need some wire for the landing gear, some popsicle sticks and/or paint stirrers, heavy duty pliers for wire bending... wheels...rubber bands....
are there any other parts or materials I will need that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks in advance. If this plane works out it will be the first one that I try to make pretty, both in terms of keeping the build clean and tight as well as adding some artwork/paint/tape.

Thanks Mesolost! I have been reading the manual for the DX7, and was confused by this but I will give it a try and split the harness.
@defhermit, The storch was my first build, and I regret choosing it for my first. After a failed maiden, I immediately built a nutball, FT flyer, and a delta. These were VERY rewarding, and super easy to fly! The nutball took literally an hour to build. That included printing the plans, taping them together, cutting it out, building the powerpod, etc. It is more fun than it looks, and I now have 3 nutballs in various forms. The Storch is an awesome looking traditional plane, but in my opinion, it is not a trainer.
