Default RE: Shrike 40 with thinner airfoil

Thanks combatpigg !!

Well I dont know if could be the fastest , of course I really wish , but there is another guy with the same engine on a shrike 10 (unmodified) wich did 220 mph , I hope the tinner airfoil of this one takes some advatage and reduces some drag to get close to that mark.

Some of the most experimented guys says the wing produces just the 30% of the total drag of an airplane considering that, on the wings I just reduced about 7% of the total drag , no too much , I hope the other reduction of the fuselage has more importance on this model then.
