Default RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Hi FlyerBry, I think you you will be all right with the weight , but the torque is what is concerning me. The .40 LA is absolutely not a power house of an engine but it did fly my 5.5 lb trainer inverted , and thats takes allot of torque and thrust So I ask again, will the torque and thrust vs the G force rip the .10 shrike apart like a rock being thrown through a piece of paper ? I am sure you will fly at lower throttle position before moving closer to full throttle. GL [8D]

Thanks for the info Chuck , for some reason I get my color schemes from sports teams. The purple and yellow represents the LOS ANGELES LAKERS basket ball team. I notice out of all of my planes , the aluminum and BLACK scheme is the easiest to see when flying high in the air . So this will probably be the next color scheme I go with on the SHRIKE .40 which reminds my of the OAKLAND RAIDERS football team.
