Does anyone own/fly a Valencia Storm?
I have been considering lashing out and getting one of these. They seem to be a "budget" or entry level F3B/F3F.
It will be mostly used on the slope. Though it might end up getting a winch launch or 3 in time.

Hi Swoopdown,

A friend of mine has one. Flies well. It's a tad heavy (3KG flying weight before ballast).

A very solid fuselage & rear-end (probably over-engineered with lashings of carbon) so it'll put up with most dork landings.

Off the slope it's a very fast smooth and efficient ship.

The quality of finish isn't as good as Muller/ Breta/ Samba but good enough.

V. good value for money.

Chris.

Hi, I have a Valenta Storm. Itīs a bit heavy (3kg) but thats ok for this plane.
I have a short video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHMi8uboeac, the green plane at the end of the video is a Skorpion DSL from Thuro.
