In the middle use ''wooden scale'' piece. and at the sides i have used wooden dowels, ( motor repairing guys stock them.)

i don't know much about your TX, but surely there must be an option of  ''flaperon''.

Thank you Manoj, will find2-3 wooden scales...

Manoj is there any settings that we can do to reduce the servo response time because when i was flying f22 it was so responsive that even with a little touch and vibration servo started reacting alot.

I have ordered hextronix dt750 yesterday the seller confirmed it won't come with bullet connectors so will have to solder it but not able to find bullet connectors as its out of stock everywhere.

Try for bullets from rchyper or eBay.in
Use exponential for your controls will reduce the response rate.
Regards.
P.s have you gone through the manual

Faiz.kadri

Thank you Prabal,
They have not provided manual but will check the Exponential setting.

Let me complete the building will share the pics and if i get stuck anywhere will inform you to help me out. 😊😊

Thanks alot guys @ Mnoj, Prabal, KK Iyer I really appreciate your help 👍👍

Thank you,
Faiz

Ok, best of luck
Check on the webpage of the model.
There may be a downloadable manual.
If not, contact the store

Faiz.kadri

Even i have found 11×5.5 Propeller and ordered the same (Below Pic). Will this prop be fine for Simple storch ??

Will this (APC 11×5.5) prop be fine or 11×7 slow fly??

prabal276

Can't comment.
I think the x7 will have a higher pitch speed than the x5.5 in the air. I.e the x7 will be faster.
Go for the 11x5.5
Let others speak, I am not so sure about the knowledge I have.

Faiz 11x 5.5 will be better, slow flying ans stability is what you want in your current model.

APC props are stronger, but be sure to order some extra pairs of the props.

For now i have ordered APC 11×5.5 from vertexRC, the cost is 3 times the normal prop's price (Rs.329).
I already have 9050 and 8x6 (slow fly) props but not sure whether these props will able to fly or not...

Hello Manoj,

Please see attached Pics of my Storch build (Not completely done but thought to share).

@faiz.kadri,
Excellent work  {:)}
Please consider adding some dihedral. Say 5-6degrees each side.
Believe me it will save you a lot of headaches when you fly it...
Best of luck.

Faiz.kadri

Thank you Bro..!!
Actually not getting enough time on this...
I have just finished wing today morning, definitely will add dihedral.

How much max weight storch can fly with dt750, 11×5.5 prop and 2200 (3cell) mah ?

For a reasonable answer to that,
You have to tell us the wing span and chord, ie, area
And post a side on pic of the aerofoil.
Depends on the wing loading, you see...

But i'd expect this motor/prop/lipo combo to fly an 800-1000gm model easily.
(If it was below about 12oz/sqft  ;D)


manojswizera

Faiz the model is looking beautiful,
as said by iyyer sir, add some dihedreal,
for weight , dont worry much about weight, if you going with the plan , you will be under 1 kg. if it goes to 1.2 kg then also dt 750 will fly this model easily.

Thank you Manoj 😊😊😊
Yup i will add dihedral to the wing today...
I just thought to share the pics, I will post more pics once i get this Storch complete. 😊😊
Actually i was planning to put hobbyking 9 Mode LED strip. (I already have it) but sticking on the wing and fuselage to the tail it will require some soldering and it would add more weight...

Faiz.kadri

Hi Manoj/ Iyyer Sir,
everything is done, making my power pod ready...
Can you please help me to set this power pod up, 1) Motor rotation clockwise or anti clockwise and 2) propeller position Number facing front or rear ??

Faiz.kadri

And also things that needs to keep in mind before first take off...
I mean how to take off and how would be landing..!!
Little nervous as tomorrow gonna fly this Storch and having bad experience with F22 raptor making me scared 😖
