I use plastic linkages on all my models. Just glue them in. Foam compresses and makes all those links loose. Also use one tiny drop of blue locktite on linkage stops.
have the wing done in black paper foam, fuselage cut out and ready to start assembly, defiantly going with full controls and leading edge slats, have finished the Bushwacker cut from plans ready for maiden,
Kinda like what I'm going through with my FT Simple Cub. I really believe that FT should have an option to get there kits with a motor having a 3mm shaft and prop saver collet with "O" rings..
why did you not check the CG before start? (2 inches / 5 cm from leading edge of the wing) I checked it a couple of times and the storch flyes soooo damn good!
Yeah, CG way off somehow. And yes good idea re throwing leftie -- I've started doing this in the last couple years, and it's super helpful if your plane is twitchy or has trim issues (or both!)

Thanks, Mike! I've built an FT Explorer and a Simple Scout. I'd like to build an FT Storch for the slow flying. I appreciate your tips

Thanks for that. I'm trying to get a FT Storch going myself. Haven't Maidened yet, but this was valuable!!
Curious to hear how it goes!
I'll be happy to let you know.... If you're part of the FliteTest Forums, my Build Thread will be there! 😎😉

Keep in mind that RC planes + kids in close proximity as not a good combo.
Are those the HQ props from flitetest? They do seem to break pretty easy sometimes.

CG? Looks tail heavy. Also, if launching from hand use your left to throw so you can have your right on the ailerons

Have you consider add a slat to the wing, to check if this solve the problem?
Hey if you are still online. may i know what motor have you used? is it 2212? And the prop size?
I never had one problem with the Storch. It's hard to mess up honestly.
How much did this plane weigh? I'm trying to fly my own, but it's having trouble lifting.
The reason you couldn’t take it off from the grass was because you should have used the rudder
They seems to be tail heavy....
you should build my foaMWARI ... no broken props
Pulling to the left, that's was a rudder is for.
