RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1
I have the Shrike .40 Mine had a Tower Hobbies .46. It flew well. Unlimited vertical, very fast. It wasn't at all like I expected. I thought it would be really squerlly and all over the sky. It in fact was not. Really stable. Fast roll rate, tame in pitch. Kinda Jet like really. I crashed it pretty good on landing and broke one wing off. Then I rebuilt it and used duct tape for covering! It flew just as well as before, but eventually I got bored with it and its now retired. Flights were like, lets go fast from the left.......Ok, now we'll go fast from the right...... Without rudder, etc. there is only so many things you can do with one of these. However, I only built it to test my flying skills. I think some time flying a Shrike will make every RC'er a better pilot. Here is a picture of it when it still looked good.
