OVERVIEW
General Data
Stork is a stable aircraft in a classic layout with push propeller and V-TAIL. 1600mm wingspan is a good combination of compactness and great performance. The fuselage is very spacious and is able to accommodate all equipment and a large battery. The aircraft is versatile and can be easily adapted to your needs. It is perfect platform for long-range FPV flights, as well as will serve well for LOS flights. It has been tested with and without flight controller. Aerodynamic characteristics are very favorable, the aircraft is stable and handles very well even in fully manual flight. When properly balanced, it does not require any trimming. You can feel like you are flying a slightly more agile motor glider. The ideal cruise speed is in the range of 50-60 km/h.
Most parts should be printed from LW-PLA, with additions from regular PLA or other hard material. Ready to fly aircraft with all equipment, with a 4S 3700 mAh battery weighed about 1500g. You can easily increase its weight to 3000g by using a larger battery and adding additional payload.
