 | Preceptor has taken the same fuselage as used on the time proven N-3 Pup, made the front of the fuselage wider, left off the cabin structure, added a combing and have come up with one of the cutest and nicest flying little open cockpit parasols going. The Stinger brings back the joy of owning and flying an open cockpit airplane that has performance that will keep you smiling. A real beauty that looks and feels like an antique racer of the good old days. |
There are three ways to have the Pup of your dreams: 1. You can buy the plans and build it from scratch.
2. You can buy your pup one sub-kit at a time.
3. The complete kit (saves you the most money). Video and Comprehensive packs are $19.99 ! | |
