Flysynthesis Storch

[HDPilot]

I'm looking at buying a Storch and would appreciate any infornation on things to look out for.

 

Do they handle dirt strips OK?

 

What is their after sales service like?

 

It states on their web site that it has the 912 80 hp motor, can it take the 100hp motor?

 

Cheers

Hi Neil,

 

Rumor has it that the extra 20hp might come in handy if you are trying to cut power lines........... ;) :hittinghead:

 

Was good to meet you the other week at Shep.

 

Cheers

The Storch does look like a nice plane, looking at buying a kit too ... any advice on how a Jabiru engine in one would rate compared to the Rotax? (eg is the airflow under the Storch cowling OK for a Jab motor?)

 

 

[storchy neil]

hi keith jab in the frount of storch :thumb_up: yes not a great deal of differance slightly less climb

 

the kit from what i have seen is bloody brilant :thumb_up::thumb_up: no painting no sanding a big mocano set

 

neil

 

 

[Keith]

Sounds promising Neil, as that seems to knock a few thousand off the price... do you know if the fuselage in the kit comes in a single piece, or is it a glue together job?

 

Cheers,

 

Keith

 

 

[storchy neil]

No worries ... thanks to Neil for the piccies.

 

Looks like my kind of kit to have a go at (no previous experience!) ... have been crunching the numbers to see if it fits the budget ... get all excited, then I watch the news and think I should watch my wallet instead ...

 

How much do you reckon I should figure for buying and installing a 2.2 Jab motor?

 

 

[storchy neil]

keith wallet watching i dont do cause its bloody empty

 

i will stay neautral on prices email flysynthesis.com .au direct then you will get the right price

 

keith one of the mods that came out on the jab motor oil problem did not work in the storch coweling but it was fixed i am trying to get info on it

 

;)yes there are about 30 aircraft of flysynthesis hangar in aust and nz just i been a bit lazy not using the foram to tell every body how well they fly
