Shrike .40
Hey guys! I just got a Shrike kit for $40. I was wondering what information concerning this plane would be of use to me during my building and flying periods. Also i have seen many different ways that people have the vertical stabilizer, could you explain the uses of then and the speed of this beast.
P.S post fast i have spring break coming up this weak and am getting the plane tomorrow and would like to immediately start building.
I appreciate any advice you have to offer! Thanks!

RE: Shrike .40
Hey I just finished one. Its a decent kit the laser cutting is great but the plans and instructions are pretty poor. with a few pieces not matching the outline on the plans. It Still went together easy enough I tried to keep track of the build time and I guess into to be 40-50hrs with almost half of that being covering. I made another post about my shrike couple of days ago called "a shrike is born" its probably on page 2 by now with quite a few mods I made and a few others that I wish I made.

Hey thanks for thanks for the advice. I posted just about the same post on speed planes forum and found that there was more replies there. I plan on posting pics of my progress on that forum so go there and check them out. I just got the plane home today.
