gory aircraft Such case merely buzz words fads today Storch true STOL aircraft long before such name Curtiss Robin Ford Trimotor other aircraft pre-World War II era did select Storch radiocontrol building project guess can ans wer another question people climb mountains just re turned tour duty 7th Air Force Saigon done modeling some time always fascinated plane thought would good project get back hobby well provide teresting exercise use flaps slots model Needless say ex pectations fulfilled Through years collected considerable data Storch may add quite easy obtain kicked-off project rainy Sunday afternoon construction Storch truly exercise building although gen erally straight forward simple however few areas caution should exercised specific building techniques helpful shall try point out going vast detail other areas plans entirely self-explanatory Begin building two fuselage sides di rectly plans Notice have marked basic side outline V marks eliminate confusion particularly area cabin Just stay within outline completed remove plan join together con ventional rubber model manner Add keel pieces formers stringers planking etc. fuselage complete may set aside No explanation needed regard tail elected use lamination method constructing outline ever prefer something else means use Just remember air craft has long tail moment tail members should kept light possible course holds true entire structure lighter built sacrificing strength better aircraft will fly realistic its STOL performance will Now comes wing real secret models performance lies Notice leading edge rear spar very simple conventional D box forward front spar provides maximum strength very wing attaches normal RC fashionnote nylon hold-down bolt heads tricky appear ing slots built like small wingnote permanent attachments shown gap between slot main wing Close-up tail shows unusually bal anced flippers overall impression slots aileron flap port side little weight flaps ailerons constructed like small sheet covered wings very large leading edge slots cut receive hinge arms Notice flap aileron connected single 30-in piece 1/16 steel wire serving hinge pin wing panel strong very efficient method providing smooth true surface move ment gap partly closed top surface small triangular strip running spanwise Although builder may use other hinge system desired strongly suggest method shown plans described above Granted difficult method realistic will certainly greatly im prove flight performance Try Once have mastered may want use scale models Just sure flaps have about 45 degrees down
