G'day Peter,
Are you sure of this ones identity?
As far as I knew, the Storch was powered by an Argus inverted V8 engine,
not
a radial.


Mea culpa. It is a French-built Morane Saulnier MS.505 Criquet, with (I
think) a Jacobs radial. There were other versions with Renault and Salmson
engines too, and even a Lycoming O-540.

Thanks for the clarification Peter.
Still an amazing aircraft though.
STOL rules!
