That's always been a favorite of mine! I had a fabric covering student, years ago that built one, and he LOVES it! I always said it would be one of my first choices of any homebuilt!

Wow... if you don't have an absolute blast flying that, you're crazy. Congratulations again!

You should immediately contact Cloudbase Engineering (BCP member Addicted2Climbing) to get camera mounts for it, because you're going to be able to do some things and go places that nobody will believe without video proof!

Is yours done up as a replica with the camouflage and details of a wartime Storch or is this one a modern sportplane only?

Contact the guys in Australia at StolSpeed, you might be able to lower the Vmc even further with use of their VG's. Or perhaps put the VG's on the control surfaces to make them more solid at the slow end of the flight envelope, just to add some more safety down low and dirty when control surfaces start to get soft and spongy.

DAMN I'm jealous!
