Andy_B Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well here's a start for the slope forum . I've just flown my 2nd Stingray for the first time on Sunday , for those that arnt aware of what it is . The Stingray was a Polish design study to replace the full size Fox/Swift that has up to date not been completed in full size, however two manufacturers have brought models of it to the market . X-Models and Wings and More, the former is 2.9M and the later 3.3m both are designed for high speed high energy aerobatics at which they are both very good.I've been lucky to have had both variants although I didn't have the X-mods one for very long . Ill add video and photos as I go along into here . Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ed Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Beautiful flying Andy. How does the Stingray compare with that big Swift you had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Andy didn't get the chance to fly the Swift. I wonder how often the other Andy flies it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 I never did fly the Swift John ......Andy had it before I flew it ...The Ray is more akin to a bullet proof scalie ...so similar to the Swift but you dont have to worry about breaking anything in the air . If it wasnt for the expense of the things I'd tell everyone to have one ....I'm thnking of ordering another one at the min...Team RS colours are calling me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffhanger Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm making up a ballast tube similar to our French friend Sylvain (see pic)I'm not familiar with that sort of ballast loading system- what is used to stop the ballast or spacer dropping out of the tube at the loading end when inverted?

Andy_B Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 You wouldnt normally cut the slot the same size as slugs Rog ...............if its cut smaller you can still get the slugs in .....really its then just a case of making sure they dont move around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoaritfirst Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Like Andy said , but also make the ballast sit behind the slot then the last (retaining) piece squeezed into the open slot can be a piece of EPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
