Beautiful plain and great flying. I would tell my buddies on a windy day let's go flying with RC planes like that and practice vertical endings, many of them were afraid to do that but I loved it, I think it makes for a better pilot. Today is January 18th 2022. I just subscribed to your Channel.
Well done and thanks for the video! Our family knew Nestor Slepcev who once produced 75% kits of these here in Australia. He would regularly demonstrate short landings and once at a local farm fly-in I was at, he took off, did a circuit of a dam - around the size of a public swimming pool - before landing backwards in a field! On his property, he would fly between his house and his workshop, 250m away! Why walk?? 😀 Great plane and he was an excellent, if not slightly crazy pilot! Cheers, David
Gret save! Before the advent of home recording and cell phone cameras (darn it!) I had a similar experience. While a student was flying his 3-channel trainer a squal line appeared and with it a steady 25-mph cross wind. He handed the controls to me! I experimented with it headed into the wind and found I could just “park” it over the ground. With this steady state I realized I could just reduce power and lose altitude. As I got closer to the ground I increased power, because the wind gradient causes wind to decrease because of ground drag. Anyway, It came down to a perfect zero ground speed landing!
thank you very much for the wonderful presentation of our stork, which hatched from its egg in kassel in 1936. it is available in a wide variety of variants and also in original ones. here in kassel there is a community that cares for the little bird. among other things, a certified pilot who restores the original stork from 1943 and continues to fly it. get in touch with me, I will organize the contact.
Abgesehen davon, dass es sich um ein Kriegsgerät handelt - die Konstruktion dieses VSTOL-Flugzeuges ist absolut genial und das Modell ist wirklich toll gelungen.
"Kriegsgerät" hin, "Kriegsgerät" her: Nahezu alle Flugzeuge (Zivil) der damaligen Zeit zwischen den Weltkriegen wurden bei Kriegsbeginn "eingezogen". Erfindungen, Patente, Konstruktionen- alles wurde dem "Kriegsdienst" untergeordnet. Das war in Deutschland so, noch mehr bei den Engländern. Auch bei den Russen. Patente und Erfindungen deutscher Konstrukteure wurden- bis heute- durch die Siegermächte von damals "verwertet und weiter entwickelt". Das betrifft alle Sparten der Technik und Chemie. Also bitte, NICHT "Krieg" und aerodynamische Erfindungen zwangsläufig framen! Danke!
Beautiful Storch. Would look loads better with the addition of a scale pilot figure though! I've actually seen a Storch ( well a Criquet with a radial) landing at strathallen on a windy day, and although it wasn't as vertical as this, it was very impressive. Came to a stop in like zero feet!
