Hi all,

Need some help on construction of a Fiesler Storch built from Bob Holman plans. My dad has been contemplating this project for the last year or so and is about ready to go. One of the stumbling blocks on this is of course the complex landing gear set up. We are looking for someone who either builds these or is willing to put one together. I know Dad has used a couple of sources for giant scale landing gears before but none of them seem to be in business any longer. Ideally this would be a ready to install unit. It's nothing as bad as the one featured recently in Model Aviation but still a complex item and something requiring some skills neither Dad nor I possess. If anyone knows of a source or is willing to build one of these we'd love to hear from you. There's still a lot of wood to be ordered but this is something that needs to be found sooner instead of later. A reply here or e-mail to [email protected] would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rick ,
This is a link to an old thread i recently tried to revive .http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4229395/tm.htm.
I am back at work on my Dennis Bryant 96" storch (same one sold by Bob Holman).
Some of the pics may be of help , If you need more info I will try to assist . I am presently working on the wings , the fuselage is already framed up and nearly ready to cover.
Good luck on your build .

A few pics of the Storch partialy assembled . I'm still working on the wing struts and ailerons and many other small details . Lots of work yet to be done.

I just bought the Bob Holman plans and laser cut wood on RCU. I will start building before long. All I got was a rolled set of plan sheets. No bill of material. Does anyone here know of a bill of material so I can order what's needed. Also, since the main gear is fairly complex, I'm interested in knowing if there iks a supplier out there.

Thanks

I was just looking over the plans and have a few questions. Is the wing section thick enough to install servos within the wing to eliminate the bell cranks? How about wing attachment? Would fiber or aluminum tubes be better? Anybody tried these ideas?

Also read above that someone is looking for a pre-made landing gear. Any info appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike Hopkins

Hello CK1. I recently acquired the same plans and short kit. Would I be able to get a copy of the instructions? I can't seem to find them anywhere. If you know where I may find them, would you please point me in the direction. Thank you.

To my knowledge there is no manual for the Dennis Bryant Storch as sold by Bob Holman . I had heard of a disc or CD but was never able to find one . The plans actually have good builders notes on them to clarify the more difficult parts of the build .
