The original German Luftwaffe Fieseler Fi-156 Storch
was an outstanding WWII airplane, designed to take off and land in extremely short distances. The Storch had a take off ground roll of 131 feet and a landing roll of 36 feet with 13 miles per hour head wind.
The Pazmany PL-9 Stork is a 3/4 replica, with the same flying and handling characteristics as the original German Aircraft.
The PL-9 Stork is a professionally designed STOL aircraft. It has a well-proven aircraft configuration designed for a number of functions such as fish spotting, forest fire detection, farm work, missionary work, etc. It features a welded chrome alloy steel tube fuselage and aluminim sheet metal/fabric covered wings and empenage. The PL-9 Stork has a cruise speed of 104 mph with a standard Lyc. O-320/150 hp engine. We are a major supplier of materials for the PL-9 Stork.
