My latest project.

Here is my latest project. It’s a Fieseler Storch from the old svenson kit.

Very nice aircraft, They fly very well but can be a bit heavy. I will be watching the progress

Looks like you have an infestation of giant stick insects 🤣

 

I look forward to seeing it finished.

Looking good.

 

One of our club members built one over a 30 odd year period and its  almost exact scale, I was a teenager when it was started and  lucky enough to maiden it all these years later. It is powered by a LASER 120 vee twin and it needs it all, as Chris suggests it is not the lightest of models but flies well.

Dereck's is modelled on a Morane-Saulnier MS 500 Croquet which was built under license. 

Here is a video I took of him going around it prior to covering, there is another of it flying which I will try and find:

That will be impressive with a set of blades on top.

I have to admit the construction is quite chunky! I will reduce weight where I can especially at the tail. Some of the kit is not as good quality as I expected. For instance the formers have to be made from three pieces laminated together and the slots for the stringers do not all line up exactly together so some adjustment is necessary.
