Nice one on Barnstormers at the moment, but not exactly a do-er-upper.

Yes nice one, and only 5.46 hrs !...didn't take long for him to scare himself !!..........Maj..

I imagine that the Super Storch with the 210hp Lycoming would be a very different machine to the 912 or similar motored varieties that we hear so little about in Australia... I have heard a GA pilot who saw one many years ago comment that they were very roughly made????

[Guest Cloudsuck]

Maj, there is one at Boonah. It is as new with few hours. But, the guy want's 70k for it.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

No problem, the guy's name is Joe and he is one of our club members. He keeps it on a private strip in Boonah but is getting a bit old to fly. He was ripped off pretty bad by Nestor, hence the high price of the aircraft. I ran into him at the servo the other day and made an inuiry based on your post here. I'll get a phone number off him and pass it on to you.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Thanks cloudsuck, Would that by chance be the one with the blue and red on it that was kit built by a European gentleman ?.........................................................Maj..

 

 

[Guest Cloudsuck]

No, he is a european but this one is painted in a camo scheme.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Desert sand camo ??

 

 

[Guest Cloudsuck]

I've managed to find a couple of photos of it on the net. This is the actual aircraft.

 

 

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Thanks again Cloudsuck......it's a nice looking machine allright.........................Maj..

 

 

[Guest Cloudsuck]

Maj, PM sent with details.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Got the PM, thanks Cloudsuck..............................................................Maj..

Here's a nearly complete Storch, seems a not bad price at 14,000 US.

barnstormers = aeroplane porn:laugh:

 

Bloke I know keeps sticking ads for RVs under my nose - all for prices that I could just about afford, pity about the cost of getting one ashore here. I asked a while ago and was told to budget $10k for shipping etc. Anyone know whether that is realistic?

Hi Carl i have come across, between $8 to $10 thousand from the states (surfing the net). Also if qty 2 A/c cant fit in one 40 foot container, you can split the difference.

You dont have to chase too hard my mate has one and we are allways into him re the bug splats on the trailing edge.

Hi, I bought from Nestor a Slepcev Storch in 2000, I still fly it, it a great machine, even with the Rotax 912, its a tough aircraft, easy to fly and never have had problems landing, even with cross wind. However, I fly over water, in case of ditching is impossible for the pax to get out and probably difficult task for the pilot.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Hi there in Panama, Yes, I don't own a Storch but I do fly one every chance I get after generally maintaining them. They are popular here in the bush for cattle mustering with some on their third engine by now, and well over 2000 hours on the airframe. I have been lucky to have flown probabily 8-10 different ones, and always enjoy, as they are a very well behaved and enjoyable flying machine. Fly safe ...Cheers ...............Maj...

You beat me to it!

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

You funny guys are absolutly correct, The Storch is capable of actually flying backwards (across the ground) into a very stiff headwind, as demonstrated by Nestor Slepcev on several occasions. Don't know if I'd want to try it in anything else though !............................................................................Maj...
