Nova Tech Stingray

It was reviewed some years ago by Quiet Flyer , then called S&E Modeller. It might be worth the download price of $1.99

I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures, make sure you post plenty.

Well I finally got started. I think that this must have been early day

for laser cutting as I had to go thru the precut parts and add par numbers for each. There were a couple of parts missing but that i probably because it was cannibalized over the years of storage. Al the parts were easily identifiable and after numbering them progres was swift

Next came the foreflap This puzzled me because there was only one an

it was huge! It turns out that the foreflap is just in front of th horizontal stabilizer I had to read the instructions several time t make sense of it all. The included pictures shows the outer ribs tape on as per the instruction

The horizontal stabilizer is next. The bottom sheeting and ribs ar

in place. I decided to use gorilla glue instead of epoxy or zap. I is lighter and easier to clean up. I place the foreflap into th picture as well to show how big it is

ah. the pics did help. mk

All the tail parts laid out for fitting. One tail is complete the othe

has been a bit of a problem (I used the measure twice cut 15 time method of building instead of anything conventional)

Here is the latest... I was wiating for a wing jig but it didn't pan out so I decided to try building up on a flat surface instead. Lots of ribs,(MMMMMMMM......RRRRIIIIBBBBBBBSSSSS) so I am going to glue them one at a time in order to keep them straight.
