RE: Shrike Build
I got the engine thing wrong in my previous post, sorry, finger trouble. We are going to use a mix of OS .10 FSR and .10 LA`s in these. I bought these kits from Omnimodels in this instance, better special discount than Tower at this time although I understand the dough is all going in the same pocket? The kits cost $32.99 each ex stock over there and I ordered one or two other items with them - total freight charge - not cost - $63! Is it any wonder we mostly design our own.
Four models from two kits? Easy. I photocopied the laser cut items and two of us are going from scratch. My one photographed here is one of them.
Note I have fitted the additional wing spars here - turned out to be 4mm square. I have since glued the lower LE sheeting in place and will apply 4" wide x 1/16" shear webs tomorrow.
Also pictured is the engine bay. I made up a 1/4" plywood plate for this engine mount. The little OS.10 FSR fits in there quite nicely. I`ll shape all this for a 2" spinner further down the track.
