Description:This unusual-looking, lightly loaded glider is a real eye-opener that was inspired by the sea-dwelling stingray. Designed to maximize the fuselage’s lifting surface, the model uses traditional wood and plywood construction and incorporates carbon-fiber tubes for use as the tail boom and wing spars. It has plug-in wing panels for easy storage and transportation.
