The comes with brakes standard and two wing tanks with a total capacity of 70 liters.
The original single place version was powered by the 618 Rotax. The two place can be
powered by the 912/914 ultralight motor or the 912/914 certified version.
The plane flying at Sun N Fun was powered by the 914 Rotax turbo - putting out 115 hp,
and a three blade in flight adjustable Warp Drive propeller. These combination had to be
seen to be believed! Sun  N Fun is known for it's windy conditions. On these days the Storch took
off twice without turning a wheel, landing in less than 15 feet, and then BACKING UP.
That's right backing up, up landing Nestor would reverse the pitch on the propeller
which allowed the craft to back up. The Storch kit takes between 400 and 600 hours to
build. The kit comes sans engine, engine mount, propeller, instruments, or covering
material. The builder requires only basic tools and equipment to finish assembly of the
plane.
Certification of the plane is expected shortly in Australia, which will allow the
factory to supply customers with ready to fly aircraft. Check out Ultralight News Builders corner to see what owners
and builders have to say.
