I have one. Flew it at Nats in F3J and Unlimited TD last week. I am a
very satisfied owner of this model, I have over 32 hours of stick time on
this Stork now. Quality level is high, the molds seem to be flawless,
almost at the Jaro Mueller quality level. It seems to be stronger than a
Eclipse, (I've owned both) and a little sexier looking IMO, but I was asked
more than once last week if it was an Eclipse.
In fact the Stork is a very strong model, I had to back off in unlimited on
the winches so I wouldn't break the lines, and I saw many planes break or
blow their stabs off on these same winches. In F3J it ate up 2 man
launches with gusto... (2 man tows are so cool!!!)
If you would like to know more, see my Stork web page or I can answer other
questions directly.

I have an earlier model with the European style top hinged flaps, try to
get your hands on a US version with bottom hinged flaps.
BTW, who is selling Heinrich Storks in the US now and for how much? I
would hate to be without one... 8-)
