RE: 1/8A Speed plane
Gold,
I have scaled down a 1/2A Shrike for a .010, but ended up shoe horning a .020 TD w/ throttle control and three channels that will fly in excess of 60 mph and flys great. There is a picture of it somewere on RCU if you search under Shrike. I am planning on a scaled down D-Dust or Whiplash for my .010 w/ throttle control as a winter project ( if I can get to it ). Others have done much the same if you search around here a little bit.
Give it a try- let us knoe how it goes, Dale
