I'll see if I can find a couple of Storch fotos.

As for the batteries: Makes sense now not to build those anymore. I our convenience-throw-everything-away society you could sell an airplane owner 25 batteries (one every two years) instead of just one NiFe battery....

Mmmm... I don't know where they were taken. I have blatantly ripped them off from this website:

Could it be the Reno Air Races?  :-[

Nifty little thing the Storch, but what's a NiFi battery, what does it stand for?

And yes I thought of the Cri Cri right away as well, what a cute little thing :D

I can't believe someone actually gets in that thing.  Wonder what the height limit is...


Was somebody looking for the tail number for the Corsair?  N5588N

NiFe = Nickel Ferrite (or some other form of Ferrous, which is iron.)

WOW! It was recorded on video! I surely didn't see this before! Thanks for posting the link (note: the link itself when openend has an extra quote-mark " that needs to be removed after the file-name or it'll come up 404).
