RE: Shrike Build
Here is my 40 sized Shrike. Its powered by a Supertigre 40 with a 10 x 6 prop, and covered with Ultracote red, yellow and carbon fiber. While not extreme speed it does go as fast as I want to go. I have a couple of recommendations: drill 1/8 hole on all the ribs and wing tip on side so you can run your antennae through a nyrod in the wing and out your wingtip. Use Spray adhessive to glue some coarse sandpaper to the bottom of the fuselage sides at its CG this will give you something to hold on to when you launch it. Also if I were to build another one I would cover it with coverite because it is so much more durable, the belly landings take a toll on MK/UC in a hurray and mine requires constant patching. Although I have not built the 10 sized Shrike I would recommend it over the 40 the Shrike 40 while not all that big is still 1 piece and will take up quite a bit of space in your vehicle.
***** sorry but RCU appears to be having problems I have tried several times to upload my pics will try again tomorrow*******
