Dingo

A revival of the Hovey Whing Ding by Marek Ivanov

The old Hovey Whing Ding always drew a lot of attention as it is such a very basic and light airplane. But ... not many made it according the old plans. Marek Ivanov saw the potential in this old design and started totally redesigning it. I just looooove the end result.
