You might want to look into a Macs style black pipe for a few more rpm and a little less weight....Dave

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Sounds good John. When building the shrike I construct a small hatch at the far back to install the battery and weights. That way I can get in there to make any adjustments. You could still cut a...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

A couple of things. Yes. the plane is designed for standard servos. It's not necessary to have duel servos for the ailerons. A single servo works just fine. But it is your choice. Moving the firewall...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Prundel, The rail their talking about is one of the 4 spruce rails used to mount the servos. It is the rear Throttle rail. If you look at the plans for the throttle placement you will see that the...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Johnc1go..any reason why you cut the nose off your shrike with the 32?? A 32 is the only engine I run in the shrike 10. It will fit. Takes a little work but will fit. My 40 shrike runs an os 61. I...

Your CG should be 4 3/4" from leading edge at Fuse. Very important that you balance laterally. Remove the prop. Set the prop shaft on a flat object. Raise plane from the back at center point to level...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Thanks for the pic Strykaas. Would anyone have the measurement for the firewall, height and width for the Shrike 40. I would assume the kit and ARF are the same. Also the distance from the firewall...
