Yellow Aircraft Stingray
turbine jet trainer
After building Kyle's Stingray I figured I just had to have one.

Kit arrived today!

Not much to look at here, but I see a lot of potential. The one piece
fuselage
will be nice for structural integrity, and is reinforced with carbon fiber
throughout.

All done! I didn't take pictures of the building process because
time was of the essence. I didn't build this one as fast as Kyle's,
but I did make a few changes along the way.

Well, if you know me at all, you know that most of my planes
don't last very long, and this Stingray was no exception. It
was probably my own fault for screwing around inverted
and trying some new moves in preparation for our Fly In.
Not much left of the plane or engine, but I think I can salvage
one or two BVM aluminum wheel hubs. I did the parks and rec.
a favor by burning off some unwanted
grass. (They burn this
stuff off every few years anyway)
