Fieseler Storch

Wow.. This is wierd. I was flying around North Africa in Tims Storch late last night.. Couldnt sleep and had just read a cool story on a German vet celebrating his birthday, pilot in WWII of a Storch. He was telling some cool stories on it. I think its in the new issue of the EAA magazine.

What an awesome plane and incredible airfile.
 
Yep, got Tim's Storch. Excellent plane, been flying her quite a bit lately. Just wondering about any other versions.
 
I used the Cfs2 version's mdl file in the Fs9 folder after renaming it to the same as the Fs9 mdl and you have the rear machine gun visible. It's a super mdl but unfortunately won't port to FsX.
 
Piglet's Storch has been on every FS since 2002. It was the first plane I even landed on a carrier! :d

Won't work in FSX, Piglet's going his plane for that now, maybe an FSX version soon.

don't be put off by the Morane-Saulnier tag, as production of the Storch was transferred to the french during WWII by the german high command, so that
Fieseler works could concentrate on building Bf109's and developing the V1

One of my favorites......

I e-mailed him a while back and ask if he was going to update it for FSX; he said he is no longer involved in flightsim modeling.....

Just downloaded the Moran 500 package...and looking forward to adding another round engine flier to my CFS2 collection.

Glad to see modelers like Tim "Piglet" Conrad and few others have done this model already. Watching the real Fieseler Storch is impressive to say the least. Personally I got to see it in flight during the October open house up at the CF's headquarters in Stow. Anyways here's a few pics of the Collings Foundation's own Fieseler Storch from past open house events.

Great Photos! I love that thing.

I had the chance to see one in person when I was a kid. What a huge bird. They look small, but are actually quite tall and spread out. The landing gear is very wide, and the canopy greenhouse structure is HUGE. The wings are also pretty sophisticated, with all their various wing foil systems and brackets. The cowling, when you see it in person, is also quite 'different'. It has a wierd sort of 'catfish' mouth opening where you can see the inverted V-engine block in there.

Wild planes....


Note: Stall speed, 25MPH.

Nicely restored Storch! And an intact 88! WOW! (drooling right now!) What two great pieces of history! Thanks for the pics.

Lionheart, could you tell me were you got that cool desert camo for the Storch. Can not find the paint any place.

It's in the package itself if I'm not mistaken. BTW: looking at the screenshots by Bill, I reckon this bird could use a bit of fine tuning of the contactpoints! The tailwheel has completely gone underground!
