Wings And More Stingray at Rhossili

Andy B Stingray from Cliff Hanger on Vimeo.

Some nice footage by Rog aka Cliff Hanger of Andy B’s Wings And More Stingray at Rhossili, Wales. This was from the fun fly event organized by Phil Taylor and held on Saturday, April 21st. Beautiful glider with excellent energy retention, flown smoothly here in what looks like some very tasty lift. Nice!

X-Models Stingray

This is the X-Models version of the Stingray, significantly less expensive than the WingsAndMore and still a very nice flyer! This was the maiden flight :)

The Stingray

The Stingray is a very cool slope aerobatics glider that was originally created as a design study for a fullsize glider, then created in a variety of other sizes including two commercial models, one available from Wings and More of Germany and the other from X-Models of Italy. There’s a great article in Radio Control Soaring Digest about the design study version of the Stingray.

Here’s video of the beautiful (and pricey!) 3.3m version of the Stingray from Germany. Flies amazingly well at that site, and look at the landing zone… wow!!
