I think I recall your name on some of the older Stryker posts. I'm working on streamlined FJ. On the current one I replaced the stock canopy with a (don't LOL) with one made from a 3 liter soda bottle--cut to fit over the space. Added 6 places to screw it down. Much less drag. I even have enough space to run a 4c 3300ma batt.--drops right in. I have used this on all Strykers for the last 1 1/2 yrs.
I guess I'm going to post current photos as I can't find the old ones.
The new one, as I'm working the details out on paper, will have exposed motor like the Stryker. I have read many people discuss the shape of the motor mount area on thr FJ, as blocking air for the prop to bite. I agree. So I will try to solve this and hopefully made a faster plane with the same motor.
The goal(s)
1- increase speed by reducing drag
2-increase flying time at WOT
3- be able to change motors in under 3 minutes
4-increase the OMG factor by 2 
Stay tuned it's going to be a different FJ

Check my gallery and you will see a very different Stryker
