| Id love to have seen that Evan & Fly . I think It is a good demonstration that lack of speed in an aircraft has its uses in operations the same as speed does. It must have been about as close as you could get to VTOL with the knowledge available at the time. |

 | The Storch was known for it's STOL characteristics. FBJ is right, it is amazing to watch.

| I have never seen one fly. I would love to take one out and fly it around. It is slow but I think it would be beautiful and fun to just joyride and cruise around in.

| There's a kit plane 3/4 size of a real one. If I didn't hate doing dope and fabric work I would consider buying one. It stalls at 28 mph if I remember right.

| Man that is an awesome stall speed. Imagine gliding through the air that slow!

| Here's the link, several companies do a storch replica, oh I was wrong about the stall speed, the Australian one stalls at 21 mph, Carlson Aircraft has one that stalls at 19 mph! http://www.storch.com.au/super_storch.htm

| So if you do the standard landing criteria of being 1.3x above stall speed when coming over the numbers you'll be at 25 mph when on final!
