I'm continuing to rack up flights on my Stingray. My fellow club members all comment that it doesn't fly like a small airplane and how rock solid it appears in flight. It certainly flies better than I do. I'm continuing to trim as I go. 10% aileron differential made a world of difference in my 3 rolls(10% less down than up). It is not a squirrelly airplane at all! I like about 20% less down elevator than up to equalize sensitivity and it does the most beautiful reverse outside loops that I've ever done! The Hacker A30 16M is a perfect choice for the airplane and withe 12/6 APCE, vertical is all that you could want. I've recently tried some 3S 20C batteries from MaxAmps that perform just as good as the Hyperions and only cost $47!
The Stingray, to me, is the best flying small pattern ARF out, bar none. I would love to try a 50-55" size version as it would be a killer! Until then, I'll continue to fly this one with a big grin on my face!
