I will be flying mine on a Mystery 1400kv, same as my FT P-51 flies on. 8x3.8 prop. I would guess you could go 9x5 to 10x4, do you have a watt meter?

The Storch would certainly carry the weight and the gopro would probably find a very safe position either on the hood or between the landing gear legs. Only thing I'd be concerned about is that wherever you put the camera you'll always have the prop in view.
Yea I thought about that also, I have a Mikeys FPV plane built for FPV just need to maiden it and trim it first. Maybe the Storch will just get a keychain cam. I also want to make a item drop on the Storch like the Breakfast Bombers. I have so many R/C things going on right now, plane catapult,Storch,FPV,FT-22. I swear I have R/CADD.
I would try a 9x5 to start, that should be in the neighborhood. If you can get a watt meter then by all means do so. They are literally worth their weight in gold! With it you can see if you are over-amping your esc.

20x30 and 20x90 format

Almost . . .
Look carefully . . . he lays it against the ruler and in a frame or two (unfocused) the end is at 16". the bend is slightly favoring one side so the gear will tilt forward -- short side to the front.
The stuff is called foam board. The brand that flite test uses isn't available in europe as far as I know (I believe it's called Adams Readyboard, but feel free to correct me.
It's basically a layer of extruded polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of paper, an overall thickness of 4.5mm and 5mm will work fine without the need to modify the plans.
Stuff like this is primarily sold in arts and crafts stores. The use i knew it from is building architectural models... so if you know someone who's an architect or studying to be one they might know where to get it locally.
I'm not to sure about online sources outside of germany, although I believe modulor.de and boesner.de(sorry, can't find it on their shop page at the moment. I'm sure I bought some a while ago at my local shop...) will ship inside all of europe. The price is significantly higher over here, though.

Where do you live, Polo? The paint sticks are the ones that are used to stir house paints that come in gallon sized containers. Just a wooden stick that can be picked up for free at the paint department of a hardware store.
No problem! The thicker sticks are 3.5 cm wide by 6 mm thick by about 40 cm long. I think that is what Josh is using in the build video. The wood is just pine - not hardwood be any means.
You'll be okay as long as you reinforce the wing more. Add a real spar and you should be fine.
