HDPilot Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm looking at buying a Storch and would appreciate any infornation on things to look out for. Do they handle dirt strips OK? What is their after sales service like? It states on their web site that it has the 912 80 hp motor, can it take the 100hp motor? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The Storch does look like a nice plane, looking at buying a kit too ... any advice on how a Jabiru engine in one would rate compared to the Rotax? (eg is the airflow under the Storch cowling OK for a Jab motor?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Sounds promising Neil, as that seems to knock a few thousand off the price... do you know if the fuselage in the kit comes in a single piece, or is it a glue together job?

Keith Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 No worries ... thanks to Neil for the piccies. Looks like my kind of kit to have a go at (no previous experience!) ... have been crunching the numbers to see if it fits the budget ... get all excited, then I watch the news and think I should watch my wallet instead ... How much do you reckon I should figure for buying and installing a 2.2 Jab motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
