RE: BBC stork, Hirobo oldtimer help needed!
The Stork was one of the early all plastic offerings from Japan. (1985-86) It was released shortly after the first "Blue Canopy" Shuttle. Powered by a special edition OS.46 & fitted with a plastic version of the SST-DDF head that was the top of the line for Hirobo at the time. It also featured a belt drive T/R.
I flew one & it was quite stable as most ddf heads were. Power was ok.
