Default RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

I am still puzzled about how you guys are getting away with such a big engine on a small frame . Today I flew my Super Chipmunk and it is definitely over powered with a OS .70fs. I pulled off a knife edge for two brief moments and now I am hell bent on knife edge the length of the field.

Last night I went nuts looking for two engine mounts to replace the engine on my shrike and just before I started typing I found them [sm=punching.gif]. So to night I will install the MAG .28 on the nose and see what kind of speed I can get out of this bird. I feel I should be able to pull it vertical unlimited.

I giving the engine compartment a baby powder bath for a few hours to get the oil out and then I will CA shellac the entire compartment to fuel and oil proof the SOB.

Chuck the weight with the MAG .28 on the nose will be 1 lb 19oz's. This engine was pulling my modeltech extra 300 almost vertical so I hope I can handle the speed. Oh yea flying the shrike made it seem like my chipmunk was barely moving [] but I guess that is what speed planes do , make other planes appear to be much slower.
