Default RE: Shrike 40 from Plans

Hey Bob,

I'd be very interested in watching a 60/75 size Shrike build. Call it the "Super Shrike". I like the removable wing panel idea too. Would you go with 2 wing tubes?

I flew my Shrike yesterday and I had the fastest runs to date with it. I was taching 15k rpm static with a 40 FSR/tuned pipe setup using an APC 10x5 prop and 15% fuel. How fast is that? It's loud but it sounds great in the air.

Did that Macs muffler add power to your engine. If so, what was the rpm increase? I may be interested in one for another project. Let me know if you still have one available.
