RE: Shrike 40 with thinner airfoil
If you find me...bring some backup!
I obliterated the Shrike in my picture when I lost my elevator servo on the downward leg of my split-S. It went straight in. I am cleaning off my building board to build another and your mods are exactly what I had in mind for this next build.
My Shrike airframe served me well for 7 years and many ( and I mean many) engine rebuilds or replacements. I run the K/B 7.5cc and 6.5cc DF engines but I do have a YS 45 RE that I am contemplating on using.
