Default Shrike 40 for sale

There's a build thread around here somewhere on this bird. It has 3/8" carbon fiber tube wing spars, a few other mods that make it stronger, but no heavier than the designed weight. I built it from the kit plans and rib templates traced out of the balsa carriers.

Comes RTF with an OS 46AX, a 2000NiMh pack, and a 6EX Futaba receiver. If planning on extreme high speed operation, you'd want to replace the servos. They are just old standard Airtronics. It has a 10x6 prop, so I doubt if it ever got much above 100 mph under my thumbs. Underhand launches are a breeze with this and it's fun to fly and easy to see.

Asking $150, the price of the engine, so the airframe and everything else is free. I live in Cadillac, MI and would prefer to deliver it within a 100 mile radius. Estimating packing and shipping at around $100 to as far away as Seattle, somewhat less for other places in the lower 48.
