The Rocket Ray was created to expand the range of space that I could fly aircraft in. Normal R/C flying requires that you be able to see the aircraft attitude at all times. I wanted to go beyond that. The Rocket Ray is the brushless motor version - climb out is more like a rocket! The Manta Ray was the first version and was inspired from earlier development of the vidcam xmtr on an electric Zagi (before Trick came out with the Zagi 400). I wanted something that could stay in the air longer and could carry a heavier payload.
