While the Nynja looks very similar to the SkyRanger Classic and Swift II, it comes with lots of extra aerodynamic refinements which increased the cruise speed by about 20 mph over the Classic! In preparation for adding […]
At the end of November we had the opportunity to move the Nynja to a new location which gave us much more space to continue the build and attached the wings. The SkyRanger series can of course be built in quite a small space but it does require that the wings are disassembled again for […]
