Black Horse Fiesler Storch ARTF
A-BH099 Fiesler Storch ARTF ............................................. £499.99
Just when you thought that Black Horse had done
everything, they come up with a model that is both
iconic and complex all at the same time.
The Storch is all about slow speed flight and STOL performance. It all comes
courtesy of that complex high lift wing featuring both slats and flaps. The Black
Horse version has fixed slats and real ‘Fowler flaps. The flaps and ailerons even
have details such as simulated mass balances out on ‘stalks’, just like the real
one. When down, the slow speed performance has to be seen to be believed!
Not only is it slow, it is predictable and controllable as well. The scale-like struts
look good and are fully structural too.
The fuselage has a realistic canopy and cockpit area. To do this,
Black Horse have used a complex metal rod internal structure and
brazed it together. It is very strong and part of the overall design of
the model. There has been no compromise on scale appearance
to make it easier to manufacture. Exactly what you would expect
from Black Horse!
Then there is the undercarriage. A true and functioning
representation of one of the key design features in a Storch. It is
both complex and simple at the same time with working oleos.
All you need is a 28-33cc petrol engine for her to waft into the
air. That’s when that stunning scale colour scheme is so readily
apparent. Performance is sedate (as you would expect) but the fun
of STOL performance is very addictive.
The Black Horse Storch has a big presence and will be the envy of
your mates!
