Storch (finished)

[dorme]

A lot of fun building this plane and since it is standoff scale, one can have a few liberties in design and finish. Now waiting on the weather to try out the lighting system.
I found that a diluted mix of yellow glue (it could be white) and water brushed on the raw edges helped in keeping the foam from shrinking while painting.

I miss my Storch!

Great job on yours, you're gonna love it. She MADE me learn coordinated turns though!

I agree with Tim!! Bixler made ALL of them look Easy to fly on the Build Videos. 😳😋
But then, he's trying to sell them in the end.

STILL one of the better designs.

I had a short video of the first flight. A bit gusty but it handled it well. Just don't know how to put a video up.

Great! YouTube is the best way imo...

No video, unavailable. Did you copy and paste the URL link or go through the media insert tab

 

[dorme]

They said something about it not being available until 12am on the 14th. I just copied the URL. copy/paste

 

[BATTLEAXE]

Is it still processing then

You probably used the "scheduled premiere" feature, with the new YT's UI it's easy to turn it on by accident Nice video and nice looking plane!

Nice flight and landing, those LE slats really help with the low speed handling, I like it.

Thanks, Battleaxe. It really is nice to fly slow and I didn't have the flaps in use in that video.

I can't imagine you would need flaps unless you were going for a 6" roll out landing

6" rollout seems like a lot... (pls watch to the end)

Great flying planes

Now you are just showing off! That was definitely a 6" roll out, just in reverse
