Don,
What I mean by no leading edge reflections, is that the ribs don't highlight like an I beamer. (Yes, I am familiar with the construction of the published "Stingray", which has no leading edge sheeting, and 5/16" spars with shear webs alternating 1/32" ply and 3/32" balsa) This results in the "I-Beamer look", with a modified construction.
Does this particular "Stingray" have a sheeted leading edge, or is it just the camera fooling us?
On second thought, IMG252 above of the nose, does look like the leading edge ribs show on the bottom if you look real close. So, I guess it is just the camera angle and lighting that makes the L.E. look sheeted.
