Default 1/4 scale Storch

I just flew my old Dennis Bryant Storch last night. What a blast! I've had this plane for years and it's still going strong. I like to do STOL touch and goes. Start up high with full flaps and point it at the runway. Then you flair out at the last second and touch down. When you apply power it rolls about 3 feet and up she goes again. I also like to point it into the wind (full flaps) and throttle back, working the rudder and throttle to try and make it stand still in the air. You have to work the rudder hard to fly this plane because it can get so slow.
I blew up the .40 size plans to 102" and put a G23 in it. This was before the 94" one was available. Push gallery button below to see pics of it.
Good luck and have fun with it.
