The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (English: Stork) was a small German liaison aircraft built by Fieseler before and during World War II. Production continued in other countries into the 1950s for the private market. It was notable for its excellent STOL performance and low stall speed of 50 km/h (31 mph).[2] French-built later variants often appear at air shows.
Conception and production
In 1935, the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium, Reich Aviation Ministry) invited several aviation companies to submit design proposals that would compete for the production contract for a new Luftwaffe aircraft design suitable for liaison, army co-operation (today called forward air control), and medical evacuation. This resulted in the Messerschmitt Bf 163 and Siebel Si 201 competing against the Fieseler firm's entry. Conceived by chief designer Reinhold Mewes and technical director Erich Bachem, Fieseler's design had a far better short take off and landing ("STOL") performance. A fixed slat ran along the entire length of the leading edge of the long wings, while a hinged and slotted set of control surfaces ran along the entire length of trailing edge. This was inspired by earlier 1930s Junkers Doppelflügel, "double-wing" aircraft wing control surface design concepts. For the Fi 156, this setup along each wing panel's trailing edge was split nearly 50/50 between the inboard-located flaps and outboard-located ailerons, which, in turn, included trim tab devices over half of each aileron's trailing edge length.
Fi 156 in flight
A design feature rare for land-based aircraft enabled the wings on the Storch to be folded back along the fuselage in a manner similar to the wings of the Royal Navy's Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber. This allowed the aircraft to be carried on a trailer or even towed slowly behind a vehicle. The primary hinge for the folding wing was located in the wing root, where the rear wing spar met the cabin. The long legs of the main landing gear contained oil-and-spring shock absorbers that had a travel of 40 cm (15-3/4 inches), allowing the aircraft to land on comparatively rough and uneven surfaces; this was combined with a "pre-travel" distance of 20 cm, before the oleos began damping the landing gear shock.[3] In flight, the main landing gear legs hung down, giving the aircraft the appearance of a long-legged, big-winged bird, hence its nickname, Storch. With its very low landing speed, the Storch often appeared to land vertically, or even backwards in strong winds from directly ahead.
Starting with the C-2 variant, the Fi 156 was fitted with a raised, fully-glazed position for a flexible rear-firing MG 15 7.92mm machine gun for self-defense.[4]

The slats counter the flaps to make that plane STOL like crazy

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Cant wait to set them good my friend.

[@williamrobinson7435]

Hey guys if I had this particular Fiesler Storch I'd be cautious about water trapped under ze covering in places, and inspect this plane carefully. Use a pink or candy-mauve hair dryer, or a yellow one might be available, to match the paint job, and gently waft some warm air into Storch's important little places.. Big salute from London.

[@theflash0815]

The Storch looks pretty nice with the camouflage👍🏻

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I love the silver under the plane.

Ooh yeah! Finally! What a beauty that Storch! Pilot Robert, well done job with that battery and CG. Yes, I agree, that bird has been meant to be flying "slow & sexy"! ;-) And the wet landing was simply gorgeous! Storks can fly well even in the rain :) Thank you. A brotherly salute from Slovakia.

[@free-birdrocker8809]

I saw the video, I clicked on, I was impressed. Great job building the Storch Captn. Blaz. It came out nicely. Great flying Pilot Robert, It looked like you were having fun. The rain was cool. You can hear it dropping on the drum like skin of your storch. Pretty coooool man!😀

👍 I to have had a few brown outs! It happens to the best of us my friends!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah 😁

[@michaelmickoberhaus8009]

The Storch is nice looking plane. I built a P-40e Flying Tiger from balsa. I too, made mine too fly on battery a 5000 mAh 6s.i had to modify a lot of things to accommodate the cg. But after 3 attempts down a grass runway that is not smooth the plane bounce on something and caught air so I pull back on elevator and the plane puller hard left into the ground. It is a 1600 mm meant to fly on a . 60 gas motor

[@mjpburke1]

You'll get those slats sorted out boss, I would suspect the trailing edge of the slat should only come off of the wing a couple of mm's. You may have to much travel on them... Been looking at these planes, ya know. "Its kinda ugly but such a unique design", kinda thing that makes it desirable for a true Aviation or RC enthusiast to wanna have one. This looks like one of the best examples I've seen as far as RC goes. Most are very basic or are kit/scratch builds. Haven't done a kit/scratch build in 15+ years... Keep it up guys, very much enjoy your posts.

way faster and not as floaty as I expected bet you can tune it up- nice flight!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

It will be next time when I will use flaps and slats good.

[@mcgama88]

The rain visiting the air field was to hurry the brothers to shelter. And what a nice flight. An interesting model and paint design. Watching from Washington state, US. Big thumbs up. M.

[@hape4]

Remarkable sound from the rain on the wings, this is only with the foil covered planes and not with the foamies. Dancing Wings Hobby has some remarkable balsa planes in their catalog now, and the quality is really a positive. And now we know they do fly well too!!! I think a sexy little glow engine would be a great option too and no fiddling with the battery then. Very interesting this

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

It was amazing. Theses balsa birds from DW Hobby are great stuff. Cant wait to see more.

[@stevebyrne272]

Great video guys got down just in time well done thanks

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

Very sexy flight, captains! I am assembling one of these now and will be using the steel plate weight. I am also going to try putting the esc alongside the motor mount. Other videos show a tendency to wing-over and spin and the slats seem to aggravate this.

[@8poundquark]

Very well done. A mini- documentary!! It will be interesting to see what you can do with this once it's dialed in.

One of your best videos ever guys . Love that plane . I was surprised you had the slats on full travel and rate actually . I thought maybe you would have them ona delay like landing flaps . Can't wait to see this pane again . Thanks .

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I will set them with flaps next time.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

This time really. I was just watching that 😁

[@bastelonkel6500]

Ihr seid die Besten!!!👍

[@dinsdalepiranah1189]

When the slat opens it creates the slot. In high angles of attack the air goes through the slot and maintains contact with the upper surface of the wing preventing a stall. Me 109 had automatic slats that would open in tight turns to prevent stalling. So with the slat open short take off with high angle of attack is possible.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I have seen that on ME 109. Awesome stuff.

[@plane_simple]

@@PetrincicBrosRC First: The shape of these slats is complete nonsense. Second: If not fixed, slats usually move back and forth parallel to the chord of the airfoil, they don't tilt. Third: The gap at the top edge of the slat should be a lot smaller than the opening on the bottom side to make them work.

[@vumba1331]

Me 262 also had these slats. It would appear that Willy Messerschmidt liked using them on his designs.

[@kevindouglasjackson]

Slats and flaps should be used together. I believe it increases lift great for slower flying.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah. I have really researched it and cant wait for flight Nr. 2

[@qfrb97]

@@PetrincicBrosRC Also, there is a speed range for proper operation of lift augmentation devices, you should not be using flaps and/or slats at high speeds, they're designed for extra lift on landing and take off, which happen at slower speeds. It's not a fair assessment to use the slats alone and when flying fast.

[@captainkttyhwk]

@@qfrb97 Real storch had fixed leading edge slats. Once you lower the flaps about 40ﾟ then the ailerons would drop down to 10ﾟ. Very cool plane.

[@hunterdunker1011]

Hey beautiful and sexy flying pilot Robert, I love the plane it has every detail🤔. I salute you and captain blaz 😎👍.

[@vumba1331]

It lands fast for a Storch, once you get the slats and flaps dialed in you may be able to slow it up more. Looks great, well done on the maiden flight.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah. I wasnt using nothing on landing. Must set flaps better and slats also.

[@vumba1331]

Was it perhaps a bit nose heavy? It looked so in flight and it would result in a faster landing speed. What were the controls like Robert, did it need some up trim when flying?

[@rcright8357]

You guys are cool. Great videos.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks R.

[@clarencegreen3071]

Great video! It's one of your longer ones, but was over all too soon. Great tip about antenna placement. To repeat what others have said: Slats are beneficial for high angles of attack to delay the onset of a stall. New meaning for the term "brown out!" (NC/USA)

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I forgot about the time once more my friend 😊

[@philheath9854]

good fun video -

[@deweylee2449]

Hey Captian Robert. The slots on the front of the plane are only meant to be used it unison with the flaps at lower speed. You really have to be careful because you can get so slow that it will literally drop out of the air like a rock. The slots cause a downward flow in the air while at the same time the flaps are producing lift. They kinda of counsel each other out. Creating a balance that allows for a stol that is more manageable once you get use to it . Motion has a new video out on one of there new planes you need to watch. I've had an old plane that was given to me and the guy that gave it to me told me he didn't know who made it and the guy he got it from said he didn't know who made it. They just affixed the slots and flew the planes without them. Of course when I got it I wanted to see how it would do with them and I put it into operation. Needless to say it was an adventure at first but now I absolutely love flying that old plane. As a matter of fact I have been thinking of get the foam model from Motion because the linkage controlling the flaps are tied together with the slots via one servo on each side. Good luck guys and keep up the content.

[@koalatails6391]

The exterior of the plane is sexy, the interior a mess. I laughed when I saw how the battery went in and was held in place, it made me feel better about how I solved the same problem with another DWHobby model. Very good maiden flight, I hope that you can figure out the slats so it will fly slow & sexy. Salute from Sydney, Australia.

You men are a riot! It looks great in the air! Are you familiar with the old Sig Kadet Senior? It is the Fieseler Storch of old glow-engine trainers with nearly a 2m wingspan; very light wing loading. With an old OS 46 SF engine, I hovered it place for five minutes in a modest but steady wind. Sig kits are still available. The beating of raindrops against wing covering brings back great memories; THANK-YOU!
