RagWing RW19 Stork
The RagWing RW19 Stork is a family of two-seat, high wing, strut-braced, conventional landing gear, single-engine homebuilt aircraft designed by Roger Mann and sold as plans by RagWing Aircraft Designs for amateur construction. The RW19 is a 75% scale replica of the Fieseler Storch Second World War German liaison aircraft. The RW19 is noted for its STOL performance, equal to or better than that of the original Storch. The claimed take-off run and landing roll are  due to a  stall speed. Design and development
The RW19 was designed for the US experimental homebuilt aircraft category and was first flown in August 1997. It also qualifies as an Experimental Light-sport aircraft in the USA. The airframe is constructed from wood and tube and covered with aircraft fabric. The landing gear is of conventional configuration. The aircraft's installed power range is  and the standard engine is the  2si 690, although the  Rotax 912UL engine has also been used. The RW19 was originally available as a complete kit, less only the engine, but today is only offered as plans. The designer estimates it will take 600 hours to complete the aircraft, although other estimates run from 300 to 1500 hours. Variants
