RE: Easier to build? - Shrike 10 or Sig Wonder?

ORIGINAL: Radcom

I have been flying three years now,and my first kit was a Shrike 10.
I modified it a lot. Engine is an OS 32 SX,8x8 prop,Macs tune pipe
and Jet Bubble Tank 6oz..
Sense the build and flown a few times,I have changed the spinner to a True Turn.
To make it lighter I would change my servos to lighter ones and go with a lighter
battery from 6v to 4.8v(750mah).I havn't changed that sense the plane is fast enough.
Our radar gun at the field will not pick up the plane,but most everyone agrees its
flying 125mph+.I found it to be an easy build and maybe the Wonder might be easier.

I hope you replace the balsa spars with spruce or basswood for strength.

I folded a wing on my Shrike 10 with just a .25 FP on it.
