Default Shrike 10

Hello;
I placed a Webra .32 and pipe in the nose of a .10 shrike, I doubled the wing spar,used spruce, Installed a spar top and bottom in the wing where the wing sheeting ends. that will beef the wing enough, Cut your ailerons down leave at least 3 " at the tip before starting the aileron. Lay the sevos in the wing on there side. dont use the tourqe rods,they arnt strong enough to go fast.make servo hatches and mount the servo's on the hatches Remember to cut down the size of the ailerons,,Going fast you dont need much ,about 6 or 7 " is enough for that plane. I planked the tail solid and pinned the rudders in place using dowels. Moving the engine firewall back a 1/2 inch helps the ballance. Find the old style Sig Alu bar stock engine mounts (short ones) ,place the fuel tank cap through the firewall ,Seal your control surfaces,,,,,,,,,Happy landings
