Fieseler Storch Fsx
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. By FrancoisDumas, August 24, 2011 in MS FSX FSX-SE Forum. Fieseler Storch; FSAddon; Recommended Posts.

Those daring men in their magnificent flying machines! The brave Canadian bush pilots, the South American jungle pilots and the freight pilots operating in crisis zones in Africa. They land and take off in extreme conditions in the world’s most remote and hostile areas.
These pilots have a special skill, a special attitude… and a special airplane. In particular, Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) aircraft that can takeoff and land in less than 200 feet (60 metres) … and down to as little as 30 feet (9 metres)! That’s as little as 10 strides. Basically, takeoff and land in the length of your driveway.
STOL and XSTOL
There are a fair number of STOL capable aircraft. After all, you need STOL aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. Huge aircraft such as the Boeing C-17 Globemaster have STOL capabilities. Some waterbombers are also required to be STOL capable.
The granddaddy of STOL is the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, a German reconnaissance aircraft introduced in 1936. The “modern” and equally legendary equivalent is the light utility Piper PA-18 Super Cub, launched in 1949. More than 15,000 Super Cubs were built in various models format, including floatplanes, until production ended in 1994.

The standard Piper PA-18 Super Cub requires 400 ft (120m) distance for safe landing and 200 ft (60m) for takeoff. (Landing/takeoff over a 50 ft obstacle is 800 ft (244m) and 500 ft (162m).) To achieve extreme short takeoff and landing distances, they are equipped with STOL kits that basically include changes to the wing design, strengthened carriage chassis and some engine changes.
The aircraft favored for STOL record attempts, the venerable Piper PA-18 Super Cub.
This is a standard model – XSTOL versions have modified wings and carriages.
But there’s STOL and then there’s XSTOL – Extreme Short Takeoff and Landing. The latter are those amazing machines that can takeoff and land in a very, very short distance.
In 2007, Paul Claus took off in a light-sport Carbon Cub, which is based on the Piper Super Cub, in a mere 19 ft (5,8m)!
Watch Bobby Breeden doing a STOL in a Super Cub –
If you’ve been thinking, “Are these guys competing for the shortest STOL ever?” you are right. Every year, bush pilots test their skills in the annual Valdez STOL competition, called the Valdez May Day Fly-In.
STOL and XSTOL aircraft
A STOL aircraft is called a “Sky Jeep” because of its (almost) go-anywhere capabilities. These include the mentioned large-body aircraft and, notably, the P-750 XSTOL which requires only 800 ft (244m) for takeoff and landing – quite remarkable for a 10-seater.
With a STOL kit, the world’s best-selling aircraft, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk – over 43,000 units sold – is also capable of taking off within 800 ft (244m).
Extreme STOL aircraft:
* The Piper PA-18 Super Cub, particularly the Mackey SQ2 variant.
* The STOL CH range of kit aircrafts made by Zenith Aircraft Company from Mexico, Missouri.
* The Pipstrel Sinus ultralight motorglider, the first light aircraft to fly around the world (2004).
* The impressive Aviat Husky.
In fact, there are a number of contenders – see Wikipedia’s List of STOL aircraft.
Miracle machines
There are a few things you’ll notice from all these little miracle machines:
1) they all have top fixed wings,
2) they’re powered by either Rotax or Lycoming engines;
3) aircraft length typically around 33 ft (10 m);

4) wingspan less than 50 ft (15m)
Aircraft carrier STOL
Airport runways are between 6,000 and 10,00o feet (1,8/3km) but the landing strip on an aircraft carrier is less than 500 feet (152m). That would be no problem at all for Dutch pilot Jaap Rademaker – he required less than 20 ft to land his Ukranian Aeroprakt A-22 Valor (aka Foxbat) lightsport aircraft on the deck of a freight ship, the Global Seatrade Hartman M2 Runner.
Factoids:
The Aeroprakt A-22 Valor (Foxbat) is classified as a microlight by the World Air Sports Federation (The FIA, Fédération Aéronautique Internationale).
The designer of the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, Gerhard Fieseler (4/15/1896 – 11/1/1987) was one of first to try to develop drones.
What about helicopters?!
The Hawker Harrier, Boeing X-32, F35-lightning and tilt-wing or tilt-rotor aircraft and helicopters are indeed STOL aircraft but are classified as VSTOL – Vertical Takeoff and Landing.

Fieseler Fi-156C Storch EP 63' ARF Folding Wing V2 The Fieseler Fi-156 Storch (pronounced Stork) was a small German liaison and observation aircraft built by Fieseler before and during World War II. It included a design feature that was rare for land-based aircraft: the wings on the Storch could be folded back along the fuselage.

During the occupation of France, the Fi 156 was built by the Morane-Saulnier company at its Puteaux factory as the Morane Ms.502, and post-war as the MS.505. A lot of Luftwafe parts were collected by Morane Saulnier and reused to build the MS.500 Criquet.
The wings on the original were wood but Moraine Saulnier reproduced the wings, tail and controls in metal. While heavier, the wings contained additional fuel. The original wooden wings held 2 x 74 lt tanks, and the MS wings an additional 100 lt in each wing. Moraine Saulnier used the Argus engines until supplies dried up.
Tests against fighters appeared to confirm that, at around 34 mph (55 km/h), it was a very difficult target for fighters. There was almost trouble when Udet's camera-gun film showed not one picture of the elusive Storch. Another Fi 156A-0 was tested with three SC-50 (50 kg/110 lbs) bombs, with aim marks painted on the Plexiglas windows, while another did successful trials against a U-boat with inert 298 lbs (135 kg) depth charges. Less unexpected were supply-dropping tests and trials with smoke apparatus.Between 1940 and 1943, Germany exported 34 Fieseler Fi 156Cs to Romania. A further Storch was assigned for Marshall Ion Antonescu's personal use. Further Fi 156s were received in 1944 and some were probably captured after August 23, 1944, from the retreating German forces.
In the so‑called 'People's Democracy' the remaining dozens of Storchs received civilian registrations and were relegated to AVIASAN, the Romanian national air ambulance service. The last ones were finally retired in the late 1960s.The Ilmavoimat / Maavoimat / VL Team evaluated the aircraft and carried out a series of flight tests early in 1938. As expected, the Fi 156 rated highly, with the STOL performance in particular impressing the the test team.
Excerpts from the Flight Test reports written at the time reveal some of the impressions that aircraft made on the Test Pilots:“.nothing could possibly convey its general ungainliness. It stands so high off the ground that an average man can barely see in the side windows”“.once in the cockpit, the nose didn't even begin to block my vision because I was sitting so high above it. The cockpit area is huge, big enough to stand up in, and it's cluttered with cranks, wheels and levers, all labeled in German. The stick and rudder are where they should be, but the rudders are big cast-aluminum footprints with safety straps of their own and the stick resembles a telephone pole.
The flaps are lowered by a crank, not a dainty little crank, but a man-sized Model 'T' Ford type crank that sticks out of the left wall. By winding in the Aus direction, wing-size boards flop out of the trailing edges and the ailerons race to catch up. In the spar carry-through structure over the pilot's head is a pointer that indicates how much flap is hanging out, and in this airplane, any flap at all is a lot”“. My name is sheela audio song free download.
I must have made at least 15 takeoffs and landings, all of them incredibly short and none of them where I wanted them to be. On takeoff, I found that even with the correct trim, I couldn't pull back hard enough to come even close to stalling it. As soon as I had a minimum of 35 knots, I could pull back all I wanted and do nothing but climb.
Storch Aircraft Kits
I had absolutely no head-wind component and my initial climb angle was nearly 45 degrees. This airplane really will leap off the ground. Taking off three-point in a headwind, I doubt that it would need more than 20 feet to get off, although I was using close to 100 most of the time”“To make short-field landings on a chosen spot, you usually like to get the airplane slow enough so you have to use power to drag it in.
I was constantly frustrated in the Storch, because I never got it slow enough to need power. Almost every landing was power-off, and eventually I was so exasperated that I was approaching at 25 knots indicated. At that speed, I needed power to soften the touchdown, but it still wasn't slow enough to hang on the prop. The really hot-shot German Pilot that instructed us in the Fi 156 would come creeping in over the trees at practically zero airspeed, letting it fall on command and catching it at the last moment with a burst of power.' I tried to stall it while at altitude and found that it not only refuses to stall, but as long as I had the slightest amount of power in to give it elevator effectiveness, I could easily fly the airplane where I wanted while holding the stick all the way back. Once you master that kind of approach, you could land backwards on an outhouse roof.”“I had a lot of silly things happen while flying this airplane but the silliest was when I tried slipping it. I was high, per usual, so I figured I’d just use a max deflection slip.
Arasu kannada movie songs free download. It works on other airplanes, why not? As I leaned the aileron into it and got on the opposite rudder everything was going just fine until I got about half rudder. At that point, the rudder pressure disappeared and the rudder pedal sank to the floor with no effort from me and stayed there. So, there I was, coming down final sideways with a rudder that was stuck to the floor of its own accord. That scared the living hell out of me! I had to practically stand on the other rudder to get things straighted out.

I guess the aerodynamic balance on the rudder is so big that when enough of it catches the wind, it overpowers the surface and yanks it to full deflection”“.Maneuvering in the Storch is a real physical workout. The controls feel the way the airplane looks—gawky and loose. The stick forces are anything but light and to keep it completely coordinated, your feet have to thrash in and out as if you were working a treadle sewing machine.”Fieseler Fi 156 Storch in Finland.
