Hi Tyor,

did you ever have problems keeping your engine mount bolts tight on the Storch? I seem to have sorted it now, but had to make some changes. Storch is a very docile flier ehhhh?

Don't think so. The engine that quit on me was from AMR. The engine that is running fine (so far) in the Waco is from Hobbyking. Only difference so far has been the purchase costs.
