RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

It's very beautiful up here! Lots of mountains and wildlife. It's incredible in the summer. Anyways, I bought my video camera on E-bay, brand new, shipped, for $15. It's a little key fob camera. ...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Tinting the canopy is pretty easy. I have a few different size tupperware containers that I use just for tinting canopies. All it is, is Rit fabric dye. You can find it at any fabric store, and...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

It's uploading to Photobucket now. I was reading about the WMG (Warner Media Group) thing. Apparently, they have some sort of deal with YouTube where it won't allow YouTube to play anything that...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Here's a link to the video I put on YouTube. My camera is one of those little key fob cameras. It takes pretty good video for being a $15 camera.

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

WOO HOO! My maiden flight went great! The weather was beautiful. 30 degrees, partially cloudy and not a breath of air was moving. The OS .46FX fired right up and I dialed her in for max RPM's. ...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

I meant that the flaps (ailerons) don't drop when I hit the switch. The ailerons still work! I'm not THAT dumb! :D

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Awesome! You guys have been a great help. I got a switch on my Futaba 7C set up and it adds about 1/8" of up trim when set. It was the air brake function I believe. I just added enough to raise...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

I just realized that I bought this thing on the 2nd of this month. That's less than three weeks to completion. It builds quick! I could have done it in a week if I weren't so busty.

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Very nice! Definitely build around the engine compartment! It looks great I think. Also, did you build that from scratch? It looks good! I'm definitely glad that I made my rear stab one solid...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

What kinds of control throws are you guys using on the .40 size Shrike? I must have missed them in the directions. I'm almost done. Got the engine installed tonight, and now I just have to finish...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Thanks for the info! I already beefed up that area with lots of CA and epoxy. I think I'll just leave it. I plan to finish covering it tonight. I picked up a new 2.4G Futaba receiver today. What...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

So, I ran into a slight problem. I'm covering the plane at the moment and realized that I didn't put the fiberglass between the wing and fuselage as called for in the plans. I don't really see it...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Wow! This thing sure goes together quickly! Other than the problem with the R5 ribs, it was a fun build! I'm all done with the build for the most part. I still need to do a final sanding. I also...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Yep. I was wondering if anybody had noticed that about R5. No big deal. I shored it up on the front end and then just applied the LE sheeting. Piece of cake. I just filled the gap with a bunch...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

So, I have the right wing done and am about halfway done with the left. I discovered that the R5 ribs are 1/4" too short in front of the hard wood spar. They're different than the plans too. If I...

Well, hopefully my hobby shop has some of those torque rods! If they do, I'll just do that. If not, I'll have to figure something else out. It takes forever for ordered parts to get up here to...
