Default RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Well guys, wish me luck.
I've finished the build and weather permitting tomorrow will be her maiden flight.
I've taken some pics and I'll post them later.

The build went OK, and after all was said and done it didn't turn out half bad.
I took the liberty of adding landing gear with a steerable nose wheel which is
articulated by the aileron servo.
I'm not real happy with the ailerons, I chose the one servo in the fuse option when I
built it and I'm beginning to think I may opt for the two servos in the wing option.
They seem a little sloppy, not as firm/crisp as I would like.

Wish me luck!
And don't worry, I won't be her first pilot, I've already asked one of the instructors
at our flying club to perform the maiden. You can betcher ass that I'll be on
the buddy box though, can't wait to see how she flies.
