Title: Curtis Youngblood Stingray 500
Post by: Rudeboy on December 15, 2013, 08:54:15 PM
Finally got my Stingray built and in the air, really like this thing but got to learn how to fly all over again, flying Naza for so long has certainly made me lazy, no alt hold or GPS on this thing.

All FPV'd & LED'd up ready for night ops

hey mate, not flown inverted yet, the 2 flights above is all ive done as weather has been crap here since i got it built and flying, maybe get out tomorrow weather permitting, doubt i'll be doing any 3D for a while as have been out of the heli's and 3D for years now so just getting back into it after flying naza for so long so feel like I've got to learn all over again, putting in plenty hours on the sim though to try and get back up to speed asap.

So is this the beastie with the single motor driving four collective pitch props?

Very nice, after watching Curtis showing it off on Flitetest I was very impressed with it, looks great fun :)

tdmodel, yes mate this is the one, oping to get out flying today but windy as hell again, getting really hacked off with the weather lately, been back home from offshore nearly 2 weeks now and only managed a few test flights due to the typical Scottish weather, will be away back to work soon with no proper flights in at this rate.
