STORM Kits Series are all metal Aircrafts with some parts as Engine cowling, fairings manufatured in Advanced Composite.

STORM  kits include all the parts needed to build a complete airframe. The builder must provide the engine, propeller, instruments, avionics and upholstery. All STORM kits are eligible for licensing in the Experimental Amateur-Built & LSA category. This means that the fabrication work we do on the kit parts is less than 50% of the total required to complete the aircraft and that at least 51% of the work remains for the kit builder.

      Sheet cutting, drilling, bending are performed in the factory with high precision CNC machines. The inserts, the bushings, the brackets are machined from solid  aeronautical aluminum. The chain of controls is in rigid tubes with uniballs joints, the connecting rods and levers are assembled with double bearings. The rudder is controlled with adjustable cables with turnbuckles. Steel parts are TIG welded and checked at the factory.

Retractable Gear version:

The main landing gear is made by two supporting beams hinged around the end of two metal leaf springs house inside the fuselage. This arrangement still allows, in a retractable gear, the use of the spring leaf for the landing shock absorption, preserving therefore all this advantage (simplicity, reliability, maintainability). The main legs are simply rotate by two oleo pneumatic actuators.The front wheel is integrated with a high efficient oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. Thesteering and the braking system are unchanged. When the landing gear is down the torque-arms are mechanically blocked, preventing the rotation unless driven by the actuators. An electrical compressor gives the necessary pressure to the pneumatic system headed up by two spherical tanks. One tanks gives the necessary compressed air in case of system failure. In any case the gravity assures the landing gear extension. The panel indicators (up-and-locked, down-and-locked) comply with FAR requirements.
