I have a print of the original plans for Bob Violett's Shrike. Bought them when I was 13 years old. Purchased a flying fork on ebay a couple of years back. The owner also had a nib Shrike; which was his dad's. He wasn't going to part with this plane. [&o] I seems they lived in the general area where T&L Glassflite fabricated the fuselage's in Washington state.

I've been trying to remake the Shrike in Solidworks. But it ain't easy.

I'm sure the Sequel is a fine aircraft but if I had a flying fork this is what I would build. Bob Violett's Shrike. Well done Leo in making the mechanism available again. Would also be excellent on large gliders.
