Hi BEB, Yes, I have had a few problems since day one. I have put her to one side a few times, even taken all the radio gear out, then I hear or see something on a forum and down she comes. This time I said, That's it no more!! and before I got the above photos I had removed the engine and most of the radio gear. Then Mike sent the photos so I had a quick look to see what repairs are needed. The fuselage is ok, one wing just the root rib needs replacing, the other wing needs the root rib and 4 ribs replacing but the spars,L/E and T/E are ok. The carbon tongue ply slots just need tidying up, they damaged the ribs. I have had her a few years now and she was my first scale and when when very thing is ok she is great to fly and looks good in the air. In the next couple of weeks before I fully strip the wings and after I will post a couple of photos. Then as the repairs are carried out I will post some photos etc. Then in time flying photos!!!

Hi, Here are some photos of my Storch, The last for a while, went flying the other day, things went wrong so more repairs. I was trying a cross wind landing and a sudden gust of wind flipped her overand the ground was a little to close!! She will fly again. Peter

Hi, Were did last year go!!! and this year seems to be going the same way, but with a bit more flying!!! Anyway I did fly the Storch last year two or three times and the mods were just great, no wing movement. then I, not the aircraft, dropped a wing coming into land. More repairs, broken rear spar and a damaged flap and a couple of ribs. Root rib not damaged so repairs didn't take long. Full test flight carried the other day including flaps, no trim needed so I am really looking forward to flying her a lot more. I think one of the lads took a couple of photos so if I get a copy of them I will post them. Peter

Nor-Cal Aero kit - Waco SRE Cabin Biplane
PeterB replied to PeterB's topic in Scale and Semi-Scale kits
Hi Tangey, Bob and Pete, Thank you for your inputs. Sorry to say that I haven't started the build yet, what with this none summer (still got a full hanger) and a small heath problem things just haven't happened as planned. Plan now is to start later this year. When I do I will post some photos with write up. Bob, I must thank Pete for the answer to your question, see post above. Looks like I don't have to buy a 1.20. I have a small Waco ARF(just bolted together)which I now enjoy flying. See photo. PeterB -
Hi BEB, Thank you for the info. I am glad now I started this thread because like you said it as attracted some response to my Waco thread, so I think I will take your advise and leave it were it is. I haven't started the build yet because not only was it a bad year for flying (so my hanger is still full) I had a couple of problems with my health also. I now plan to start the build this coming winter after a GOOD summers flying. PeterB

Hi Seamus, JN, Just a note to let you know that I have found some 6mm x 15mm long nylon spacers for the 6mm wing bolts.These will save a few turns with the screw driver. (see photo). The wing has been recovered at the wing root and all the RC gear fitted. The engine as had a run, started 2nd flick!! I had a go at making a new cowl out of balsa, got to the planking stage and then realised I would have to take the engine out to get a good fit! So had a look at the 8 pieces of the old cowl and spent a day putting it back together. I gave it a quick lick of paint and if the test flight goes ok I will do a better job. A new cowl cost £24 plus P&P!!!!! All that is needed now is to get her back into the air, which I hope to do in the next couple of weeks. Do the test flight at the same time as the Chipmunk first flight which I still have to finish off. Hope these mods/repairs I have carried out as helped you. The Storch is a great plane to fly as you already know Seamus. Peter
