Build this Plane! - FPV Stingray // Details and Flight

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Great detailed video, thank you Jeff in LA USA

[@Qromer]

Glad you enjoyed it -- thanks Jeff!

Learning is hard, but Stingray made FPV and fly much easier to reach the plane control faster. Thanks for your efforts and sharing.

[@Qromer]

Totally agree! Thanks for your comments.

[@StiloFpv]

Its bigger than what it looks like on the videos. Just luv it. Almost done building🤠👍👍🛩️🇿🇦

[@christianfuller1847]

I can’t wait to build one and start flying

[@StiloFpv]

Downloaded the files,thanx. Definetly building one this weekend.🤠👍🛩️🇿🇦

[@Qromer]

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks!

Great FPV platform for all levels and ages

[@IFLYPPGNM]

Great video David. I do miss flying the Stingray. I miss flying RC in general. Things sure have changed in the Basin area since I moved away.

[@Qromer]

Hey Thomas! Good to hear from you. We had a lot of fun flying back in the day. Are you still flying PPG?

[@IFLYPPGNM]

Im still flying PPG. Not nearly as much as Id like to. @@Qromer

[@christophersfactory]

That's awesome! Looks really fun

[@AzTacoSauce]

Awesome! Love the stingray! It is my favorite plane to fly!!

[@divelas]

Thank you! What a gift!

[@Qromer]

You bet!

[@MrZeek101]

I had one similar to this quite a few years back and they were a pretty cool little FPV platform. Thank you for sharing

[@Qromer]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, this platform is amazing.

[@okiedoak201]

Just finished mine...should have a maiden video 1-26-25... Did mine in Depron...and cut a second "kit" from 3/16" foam board..HUGE weight difference between the two...the Depron version RTF weight(less battery)is less than the foam board weight before any glue or electronics....just a fyi....

[@jaqummh]

What is weight about of this thing? Looking forward to build one!

[@gisall8205]

I'm going to build this next

[@fpvlive]

Awesome FPV platform, do you think adding a control surface to the rudder will be effective ? Would be fun to knife edge this thing..

[@PeterFolz]

like I said before " great plane and ease to learn to fly"

[@Qromer]

Thanks Pete!

[@gisall8205]

Great video. Great looking Delta Wing. I have a very old computer, and am not able to view, or down load your building information. Can you do me a " Big " favor and give me the Exterior Dimensions of the wing. I'm thinking about going with an EDF on this one. Let me know please. THANKS.

[@Qromer]

The PDF files should pull up in your browser -- they are the full and actual dimensions. The back end of the wing is 30 inches long and the length of the body from nose to the tip of the tail is 30 inches.

[@gisall8205]

@@Qromer Thank's a lot Buddy. I can take it from there.

[@lindawise6351]

What size carbon fiber are you using? Tube or rods?

[@Qromer]

I have used both tube and rods, but on this one I use 1 x 4 mm flat carbon. I really like it.

[@lindawise6351]

@@Qromer So I could use some 3mm x 3mm square i have lying around? It is hollow.

[@StiloFpv]

What is your AUW with all the fpv stuff included?

[@Qromer]

The AUW with all FPV gear is 24 oz of freedom or 680 grams if you like metric.

[@StiloFpv]

@Qromer Thanx Dave,much appreciated🤠👍🛩️🇿🇦

[@Tron-FPV]

where's the CG on this wing?

[@Qromer]

I talk about it at 2:09 in the video. It is a long chord so anywhere between 7-9 inches from the leading edge will work. 8 inches is a good starting point and move it back slightly until you are comfortable.

[@mikemartin6165]

How is the efficiency compared to a normal plane? Does the battery last as long as it would on a similar weight aircraft with wings and a tail? It seems to flutter a little in role. Do you think a wider wingspan would help stabilize the role?

[@Qromer]

This plane is more stable than a traditional long wing plane. It can also be flown slower than planes of similar weight. If you have never flown a delta wing plane then it is hard to describe. The stall is simply a nod forward -- no tip stalls. The flutter you see in this video is the fact that it was quite windy. This plane actually does better in high wind than traditional planes. As for the flight time.... it can pull up to 30A at full static ground testing and with a 2200mAh 3S pack we get about 9 - 10 minutes flight times. This is similar to any plane pulling that amp draw.
