Advice on the storch 500S

[Hughesy]

good evening gents

 

Was just wondering if there's any knowledgeable info from the collective about this bird.

 

Scarce info on the web and less from anyone who has flown or known of one.

 

They do seem a good option at first glance but I'd like to dig deeper

 

Thanks

 

Hughesy

Do you still have it. Are/were you satisfied with it.

the only air craft I would own mine was 450 kgs reason

 

80 hp pulled it to 105 knts clean air

 

short take off and landing

 

in ground effect is flyable at thirty knts 40 degree flap electric

 

very effective rudder

 

stall at 25 to 30 knt indercated book says 37 knts no bad habits unles you introduce them

 

loved it

 

no I don't own it now as some parasite cost me that plane got no backing from raa as their l2 l4 fail to repair as to the manifactors spects

 

I run into power wires two em took off nose wheel

 

when landing at a mates place

 

and flew it from that scene to airstrip 5 nautical away

 

so what else can I say neil

Sorry to hear you lost her Neil.

 

Would like to ask you some questions if that doesn't open up old wounds.

 

Cheers Hughesy.
