Default RE: Another Shrike is born !!!!

WOW! It doesn't get much UGLIER than that[X(]! I suspect the difference between when everything was working perfectly to when things got out of whack, it could have been servo mount screws that backed out, a loose servo mount, a loose hinge, cracked spar, etc. In other words just about anything that could possibly go wrong no matter what airframe you put that screamin' engine in. I think that when you get above 20,000 with just about any engine from .15 on up that vibration works it's magic . Too bad vibration can't be trained to tighten things as they run? Hopefully you can salvage the high dollar items, and do an autopsy to see a possible cause.
