Full Review with Kermit Weeks Cam April 2016
Part #1
Kermit Weeks gives the full "Kermie Cam" treatment to the Fieseler Storch. From pre-pre-flight, pre-flight, flight and post wind up, in three wonderful segments, see the Fieseler Storch as only "Kermie" can provide.

Part #2 - In part two of the three part Kermie Cam series on the Fieseler Storch, Kermit Weeks continues his pre-flight prep, and explains how the construction of the plane and the laws of physics work together to make the Storch such a distinctive flying machine!

Part #3- In part three of the Fieseler Storch Kermie Cam, Kermit finally takes to the sky. Go up for a hands on flight. See the full flight over and around Fantasy of Flight, with a couple of surprises along the way. Fun stuff. Enjoy.
