Fiesler Storch with ailerons, slots and flaps.
Looks real sharp. Supposed to be a STOL airplane,
but actually flew like a snap rolling brick. Neither Bob nor Andrew could
tame it. |
Look at
all that stuff on the bottom of the wing.
No wonder it couldn't fly worth a damn. |

 |
| By contrast Otto's Tiger Moth
flew like dream, and touched down like a feather. Genuine scale-like
performance. |
George Benson's rubber scale,
French design -- British reg. |
