Saw FT STORCH swappable plane and decided  to build one.
Plans can be found here http://flitetest.com/articles/ft-simple-storch-build

As there is no access to dollar tree Foam board, I have made the entire plane with 6mm Depron with packing tape on one side.

First the most important,the POWER POD. As it can be used on other series of plane,to make it strong I have build this with coro. Instead of ply I have used 6mm MDF sheet for motor mount.

Electronics used
1- Dt 750 bell motor  
1- 50amp ESC
2- 10*6 prop
4- 9gm servos
4- servo extensions

Wings made according to the plans , with crease and folded to make airfoil.
 As the wing is little bigger to gave it strength, used some wooden spars.

Fuse is made with two pieces to give similar elevated look as of the original plane.
Tail is attached to the fuse.

Used small plastic card so that while attaching the wings the bamboo skewers should not tear the foam.
Power pod attached with help of skewers and spokes.

Nearly Completed plane. Just waiting for paint scheme.

Excellent build Manoj!  

What a wonderful idea, using corro for the swappable power pod! One problem with depron/foamboard/biofoam is the material tears fast, especially where the skewers fit.

What a shame too, that at least 40 people have viewed this thread, and not even a single selfish soul bothered to leave a comment. RC Indian Cattle?     :

nice build Manoj      waiting for maiden Video   

Thank you Nithinraj and sanjay sir.

Sanjay sir, you always inspire me, During my entire build,i was thinking,you must have also faced same hurdles during your Babyblender.

Here is the maiden video.
Flew beautifully,once trimmed.Fly real slow.
Once in the air, was flying at 30% throttle. Also glide well on throttle cut.
Have a tendency, to gain altitude on increasing throttle. may be i have to decrease some wing incidence.

Over all, great experience, Highly recommend for beginners.

Smooth flier. Congratulations

Thank you sir

Hi manoj,

The plane flew nice, what is the AUW of model and you used only clear tape for construction or any hot glue ?

Thanks sahil,
AUW is 930 gms, i have used clear tape on one side of depron. Because we don't have paper coated dollar tree foam board. Have used hotglue all over in the build.

Nice build Manoj.... we have a couple of these out of 6mm Depron on our field. They have painted it with normal household emulsion paint. I use Depron regularly and cover with packaging tape. Another idea to keep your pod strong is use plasterboard joining tape (Scrim tape inside and coat it with pva) the skewers/ dowels will not let the depron rip. Fellow fliers have used the clear re-inforced tape on the sheet first and then cut out the part.

Thank you deepak sir,
i haven't put a color scheme yet. Planning to apply radium sheet.
Surely will try scrim tape next time.
Actually i have used small plastic cards, Hot glued them, and passed the skewers through them. Its holding well without tearing the Foam during rough landing.
I also use same technique of apply clear tape and then cut out the parts.

nicely crafted.

Manoj, first - Congrats! And thereafter, I have a few requests-

Please incorporate the fixed undercarriage, wing struts and Luftwaffe markings - then and only then will she be a true Storch!

Nice built manoj, congrats

what mah battery u have used in this plane, coz with depron no hard landings are permitted 

@manu -  Thanks buddy
@Vc sir  - As i detach the wings after every flying, i had not add struts to fuse.
              Sure will add undercarriage,was little afraid as hard landings with undercarriage will tear the   
              Foam.
@ prashant-  I had apply some hot glue to the nose underpart, for those belly landings. Was also worried
                  while landing, but the plane landed very slowly,thanks to its huge wingspan and 
                 flaperons,they really slow down the plane.

Nice build sir

Thanks Kiran

Very smooth, slow and stable flying Manojbhai.
Great build and nice maiden. 

Thanks Taitil bhai.
Here are few pics of Storch from Birds eye
 have to resize, it kills the quality of pics 

That first picture is great.
Worth printing and framing!

(Time to incorporate VC sir's suggestions...)

Thanks Iyer sir.
will surely do so .
