The specs & pic are very similar to the TL-2000 Sting except that the Sting has retractible landing gear :D

Impressive specs and wow to the shine on those wings.

Whats the fuel burn or tank size? I'm assuming it cant be registered as a micro :oops: :?: with all the metal :cry: .

Modern planes are really closing the gaps between the various categories! Was reading about the Silent too
