The comes with brakes standard and two wing tanks with a total capacity
of 70 liters. The original single place version was powered by the 618
Rotax. The two place can be powered by the 912/914 ultralight motor or the
912/914 certified version.
The plane flying at Sun N Fun was powered by the 914 Rotax turbo -
putting out 115 hp, and a three blade in flight adjustable Warp Drive
propeller. These combination had to be seen to be believed! Sun
N
Fun is known for it's windy conditions. On these days the Storch took off
twice without turning a wheel, landing in less than 15 feet, and then
BACKING UP.
That's right backing up, up landing Nestor would reverse the pitch on
the propeller which allowed the craft to back up. The Storch kit takes
between 400 and 600 hours to build. The kit comes sans engine, engine
mount, propeller, instruments, or covering material. The builder requires
only basic tools and equipment to finish assembly of the plane.
Certification of the plane is expected shortly in Australia, which will
allow the factory to supply customers with ready to fly aircraft. Check
