Good progress on the Stinger. It's a really easy install. All the bits are now wiggling, which is always a good milestone to achieve.
The only slight hiccup was the tail linkage geometry. With the ball links as they came the pushrods were pretty stiff. After playing around for a while, all I needed to do was raise the balls slightly (oh er!). Now it's all good.
I've just got to balance it, put the wing servo covers on etc.

Seafield slope
Look what I just found three minutes from my front door. Facing south west and not even a long walk. All I need now is some warm summer evenings and a work life balance!

Stinger
My Stinger arrived today...
Let's try a little quiz. Put your hand up if you've ever taken delivery of a VV model. Ok, keep your hand up if you didn't spend hours stroking it, with a tear in your eye at wonder at the unparalleled perfection. Yep, that'll be no hands left up then.
The Stinger is build quality perfection. Super stiff, super light and that indefinable something that just screams that it's built by the best craftsman in the business. I love Vaclav.
The Stinger looks like it will tear around the sky with the best of them but quite frankly I don't care. My new house has a 20ft high ceiling in the living room and between flights I might just hang it from the ceiling and spend the long summer evenings just gazing longingly in its general direction.
Nearly forgot, thanks for the colour scheme Roman, you da man!
