Matt: what a great flying bird. Shrikes rule, no question. Great video.

Strykaas: did you get a view of this?

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Chief: That's great:D They sure are fun, as you're finding out. Maybe did you set the engine too lean on the ground? I always peak, than back off a click or two, then put the bird nose up to see...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Let me know if you need the 40 size plans and templates- I can copy and ship them to you rolled in a tube for $25. That's what I built mine from, and it came out real nice. (The $25 is strictly...

Vic-

Looks like someone "razorized" a shrike. Cool.

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Chief:

I have the CG on mine a touch forward of the recommended point, maybe 1/16" or so.

I looked at the OS prop recommendations for the 46FX (in the online manual) and they are the same...

3DJ:

That's what I've got on mine for hand launching. I used the landing gear switch to mix about 1/8 of "up" beyond the normal trim setting.
Haven't tried it yet. Maybe this Feb at my...

A note for that first flight.

All the shrikes seem to end up with a little up trim for hands off flight. If it's not in there for the first hand launch, the bird will probably...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

That's theoretical pitch speed that you are getting on the GROUND. With a low drag design like the Shrike, putting the nose down even slightly at full throttle will get you at least that, probably...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

That works out to just shy of 150mph, and over 6.5# of thrust. I presume you're going to use some really good, high torque, metal geaar servos on the ailerons and elevators, eliminate all slop in...

The best thing I ever did was to buy Faye Stilley's books, "Covering RC Airplanes", vol. I & II. The loonies at Tower have dropped them, but Vol. I is still available thru Air Age. You run into...

Chief:

Elevator I've got just over 5/8" up and 1/2" down, with -50% Expo.

Aileron 3/8" inch both ways and -55% Expo.

This with a Futaba 6EX system. I don't use dual rates as I'd...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

I'm using four Airtronics 94102 standard, non ball bearing ones that I think are at least 6 years old. They seem just fine. The S3003s have the identical specs.

I've never been able to get an answer to that question. IMHO it's a band aid that Lanier came up with to address structural failures on the inboard LE during very high G maneuvers. ...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

I had the same encounter with R5. I bent the LEs a bit, as it was the same on both sides. The airplane doesn't seem to care.

They build fast, don't they? I did some of my parts cutting one...

RE: SHRIKE CLUB # 1

Nice job, Chief

I agree with Heli on the ailerons. The torque rod setup with a single servo is much cleaner and you don't have the damage risks, plus, 2 ounces is 2 ounces. (Std. servo weight) ...

I think I'll try and move to Anchorage. Much better flying weather than Michigan.

When you mount your engine, you might want to do the rear mount needle valve like I did, so that...
