Stinger and Stripes

...sporty stripes

This morning I hauled out the Stinger for its second flight without wing decals, and its first with a new striping pattern on the wings, the graphics consisting of two simple stripes using electrical tape.

The morning was, unfortunately, rather grey, so visibility wasn't all that clear to start off with, so it was perhaps unsurprising that the stripes didn't show up to any significant degree as the Stinger howled over the paddocks.

This was a minor disappointment, however, although the cleaner wings are still a substantial improvement over the original. I have subsequently added to the striping, with an adjacent black stripe, and have give the Stinger another run.

This setup looks pretty good, with better visibility, although I still find I need to be much more careful with the Stinger...
