Although it still can’t beat the flying schlong that interrupted Gary Kasparov’s speech, Silverlit’s R/C Stingray is one bizarre aircraft. The Stingray’s airframe is shaped like a single wing with a central propeller in the middle. Because of its unique shape, its flight performance is halfway between a plane and a helicopter. It flies slowly making it ideal for indoor aerial acrobatics such as moving in a spiral. The Stingray’s EPP (expanded polypropelene) frame means that it’ll survive several crashes. This is the most important feature since you’ll never know when some dour guy will come swatting the aircraft in mid air.
