RE: Old Shrike back in the air today (tail wags)
I've even got all the specs written up on this bird:
OS 35AX (very light compared to BB 46s, should make balancing much easier and the vertical stronger)
Two HiTec Mighty Mini BB MGs for elevator and ailerons. Lighter, smaller, and more powerful than a lot of standard servos.
For visibility, I'm going to use the same color scheme I used on the bird below, a 50% electric Mikulasko Arrow. Coverite neon red, which comes out the brightest orange around, and Ultracote white.
