OK Here it is - my first shot at a .10 size Shrike. Powered with an K&B 3.5 (.20ci). Using HS-81MG servos in the wings for the ailerons. You can seethe hatches I made for access to the aileron servoson the photo of the underside. 250 mAh battery all the way in the rear including another 3 oz weight back there. I apologize for pleasurizing the stripe scheme from one of you guys - - Idid like the chevrons or darts or whatever they are.
Final all-up dry weight is 2# 6 oz. - I tend to build heavy no matter how hard I try to build light. And it's all ready for this holiday weekend - except that my wife has plans to go away. So it'll have to wait a week or so.
I love those K&B 3.5 rear exhaust engines, and nice job on the plane too.

Doin up a Shrike .10 w/ carbon main spar and a few other mods to handle a OS .25 vrdf engine w/ tuned exhaust, I can't wait to finish.
