Tony Stillman

Hi guys! Tony here from the USA. Motion RC here in the USA just started to import the Fieseler Storch. I got the first one in and found out quickly that the CG location they had listed was incorrect. I moved it forward some, but the second flight resulted in a damage fuse that I was able to repair. After that, I moved it still more forward to 1/4 inch behind the back of the front wing tube. That is what has seemed to work. I did get mine to fly properly there, but the broken fuselage just would not stay together, hence the need for the new fuse. Motion RC did replace the fuse for me, so I am in the process of rebuilding it. I am going to make some custom landing gear much like what has been done on this forum! I also agree that that is the best answer, along with holding in some power on landing to better control the flair so you get a smooth touch-down each time! The landing gear mounting point at the leading edge of the wing takes all the stress, which is what lead to the fuse failure. Here are a few pictures of the damage...
