I saw on your web site you were closed for holidays for the month, so I wasn't expecting much this month.. No going to the beach here - no sun .. I have the box labelled "Stingray" on my shelf, I've got everything needed in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do we have to wait for a photo (hopefully not with your keyfob cam )Just something with a bit more contrast than normal, to help the 'ol eyes with orientation: White fuzz, with the normal X-models yellow/red colour on the wing tops, but white-and-black under. I've got an idea of doing a yellow / red pattern on the fuzz / fin like one of the Lollorays, to pick up the wing colour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffhanger Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Each to his own of course, but the Sting Ray hasn’t quite got the “fun factor” as say my symmetrical winged Jedi or Sonic.I’m waiting for the right conditions to take it to one of the Brecon Beacon bowls which have almost vertical lift, where hopefully it will come into its own more. Short video from yesterday at Rhossili in ~35mph winds.It does a nice slow flat inverted spin as shown in the little “blender” at the end of the video. But with such a slow exit you’ve got to be careful about gaining flying speed.As you can see from the unplanned arrival “Ask me how I know!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster-X Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Still looks good Rog, how would you compare it to a 4M scalie, say like an ASH26, I can't decide between the two Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
