Default RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

I have built 2 of the 1/2a size Shrikes. Both flew well under power, but dropped like a rock when power quit. I built a 15 size one for a buddy with a 15CV-A on it. That is one fast plane. I am getting ready to build a 40 size this winter with a piped 46 and retracts on it. Might do a build thread if anyone is interested.

I do like the way they fly. It will be interesting to see how much affect rudder will have on the 40 size bird.
