RC-FIEND,

Guess I may as well join the club. I have a Shrike 10 kit in my workshop waiting to be built that will be powered by a O.S. .40 LA. I picked up the engine brand new from someone who bought it to put on a trainer then realized it would be in the low end on power. The weight of the .40 LA is close to that of the O.S. .25 FX so hopefully the overall performance will be in the same ballpark as well. I've been looking for a .25 size plane for some time to put the engine on and the Shrike looks like it will be a nice change of pace from my other planes. I read your build thread and I'm sure it will come in handy after looking at the instructions that come with the kit. Hopefully I will be able to get started on my Shrike in the next few weeks.
