Lou gives me some insight into the immense effort and skill that has gone into building this super scale replica of the Fieseler Storch. Some details I had not even spotted ! All other replicas don't get as close to the real thing as this model. Amazing detail.

Well done. I have always liked that aircraft. The builder states that he is running a Zenoah G38 with a gear reduction box. Can someone explain why the reduction box? Thanks

The reduction box allows him to run a much larger propeller this is usually done so that a scale size propeller can be fitted to the plane.
