winsor68 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I imagine that the Super Storch with the 210hp Lycoming would be a very different machine to the 912 or similar motored varieties that we hear so little about in Australia... I have heard a GA pilot who saw one many years ago comment that they were very roughly made????

He keeps it on a private strip in Boonah but is getting a bit old to fly. He was ripped off pretty bad by Nestor, hence the high price of the aircraft. I ran into him at the servo the other day and made an inuiry based on your post here. I'll get a phone number off him and pass it on to you.

Also if qty 2 A/c cant fit in one 40 foot container, you can split the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joacofab Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi, I bought from Nestor a Slepcev Storch in 2000, I still fly it, it a great machine, even with the Rotax 912, its a tough aircraft, easy to fly and never have had problems landing, even with cross wind. However, I fly over water, in case of ditching is impossible for the pax to get out and probably difficult task for the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi there in Panama, Yes, I don't own a Storch but I do fly one every chance I get after generally maintaining them. They are popular here in the bush for cattle mustering with some on their third engine by now, and well over 2000 hours on the airframe. I have been lucky to have flown probabily 8-10 different ones, and always enjoy, as they are a very well behaved and enjoyable flying machine. Fly safe ...Cheers ...............Maj...

Guest Maj Millard Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 You funny guys are absolutly correct, The Storch is capable of actually flying backwards (across the ground) into a very stiff headwind, as demonstrated by Nestor Slepcev on several occasions. Don't know if I'd want to try it in anything else though !............................................................................Maj...
