Details

The Balsa Series Fieseler Storch 15e from Durafly is a beautiful scale model, but what really makes it stand out is its quality. The built-up construction, the glass fibre cowl, the finish, the pre-installed electronics, its scale outline and high level of prefabrication all come together to form one brilliant model. The balsa and lite ply construction is both light weight yet incredibly strong, lending itself completely to the scale outline of the model. The control surfaces are pre-hinged, coming with pre-installed glass fibre control horns. The undercarriage is a two-piece unit out of the box, requiring only minimal effort (and glue) for installation. The wing utilizes a very simple but secure latching mechanism, this allows the Storch to break down easily for transportation and maintenance. Simply slide the wing halves over the carbon spar, click the wings securely into place and once you've screwed down the wing struts, you're virtually ready to go. All that remains is to install those small scale details that really finish off the Balsa Series Storch such as the landing gear covers, supports, tail braces and the navigator's machine gun.

Of course the high level of quality doesn't stop with the model alone. Our Fi-156 uses some of our most popular and reliable components, all of which are supplied installed in the model right out of the box. The control surfaces use the hugely popular HXT 900 9g servos (two on the ailerons and flaps, one each on the rudder and elevator). A Turnigy 25amp ESC is pre-installed in the fuselage controlling the powerful and much loved NTM 35mm brushless outrunner. This swings a high efficiency 10" prop (also included). The power system is designed around the use of the ever popular 2200mah 3S lipoly battery, installation and access to which couldn't be easier thanks to the magnetically held front and rear canopy hatches. In little more time than it takes to assemble your average foam park flyer, you'll have this very striking balsa PNF Storch ready for flight, looking every bit like its full sized counterpart.

On the ground there's no denying that the Durafly® ™ Fi-156 Storch looks the part, but in the air she really comes into her own. The Storch certainly has all the power you could want on 3S and is more than capable of performing basic aerobatic maneuvers. The light weight structure coupled with the leading edge slats and use of flaps really brings the Storch to life in slow speed flight, with scale like short take offs and landings well within the scope of this beautiful model. The Balsa Series Storch really is a fantastic model for those looking for scale looks and performance out of the box.
