Airworthy "The record-breaking test pilot Captain Eric “Winkle” Brown describes in his excellent book “Testing For Combat” (Airlife) his spot landing a Storch on the lift of the aircraft carrier HMS Triumph, the crew then folded its wings and lowered it straight down into the hangar with its engine still running. At first glance the Storch may appear easy to fly in that it flies slowly but this is deceptive. It is very heavy and you have to keep it in balance at all times – but it is like flying no other aeroplane. Even today the Storch is a unique machine, as close as a fixed-wing pilot can get to flying a helicopter and a unique experience in flying historic aircraft, Just be careful with it as it is not as forgiving as it may look!" Great pilot article narrative: Starting and pre-takeoff Chocks in and climb in. Mags off, Fuel D + G (Droit et Gauche). Mixture Rich, Carb Heat – cold. Battery – On, Generator Warning Light – On, 24 volts indicating. The brakes are typical WWII Germans foot brakes, like standing on a rocking ski shoe. Chocks in will save the brakes – which fade – and the feet – as it takes a good deal of time to warm up the engine. Throttle ¾” open. Ground crew turns the propeller for three revolutions while I prime in the cockpit. Fuel pump – On. Prop clear. The Jacobs 300hp radial has an unusual ignition system in that the engine has a left hand magneto ”M” and a right hand distributor and coil “B”. Press starter, turn 4 blades and Magnetos “B” and then “M”. Radial cough and splutter and away it goes. Run up at 800-900rpm taking the usual necessary warm up for a radial engine which can be 10 minutes. Oil pressure between 4.12 – 6.2 Hpz, Fuel Pump ON to test but as this can over pressurise it is checked and then goes to OFF. Instruments; turn and bank and Generator ON. With the Oil Temperature up to 27 degrees C and Cylinder Head Temperature up to 110C the engine is ready for power checks. With caution in mind with the stick only goes aft of neutral. You cannot run up with stick fully back or it will bend the fuselage. Run up to 1800rpm, Generator light out and check mags for max drop of 90rpm. Slow run at 600 rpm. Call up to taxi – although often you can just taxi forward and take off from wherever you are. This is a Storch after all. However when taxiing the aeroplane feels like there is plenty of weight in the tail. However it is a big aeroplane with a big “keel” area and taxiing downwind takes a little caution. The view taxiing – as at any other time in the Storch – is outstanding. |
