Default RE: Stingray Construction

Hey Chris,

You coming to Whidbey? If so bring your stingray and we'll rip it up together. Hope you can make it! [8D]

I've got 10 flights on mine now, the last of which was just a couple weeks back at a local grass strip. With the same tanks (Jet Tech) as Chris and the same engine (J600R). I also fly for ~7 min and land with the 2nd tank 1/3rd full or so.

I hoped to have more air time in the plane by now but the availability of our local strip this year didn't work out with weather or other commitments. I'm still fighting with a bit of a roll instability which a local aerodynamics expert described as a spiral dive tendency. I just can't quite get the roll trim to centre. Its not an elevon servo issue since the elevator trip seems to be bang on.
