Aero "Shrike" Commander PSS build
Kevin O'Donoghue:
You've clearly gone mad building this. I have to google a Shrike but I have a mental picture of a slightly faster and fatter version of a Shorts 330 but without the fun of a ramp to maybe drop stuff!!!!!!! :)

OOhhh, I like the Short 330! A bit like the slim brother of the Skyvan! :)
Laurent from the Jivaro sells a plan for it. Was very tempted at the time. Unusual model.

I picked another subject :)
Bob Hoover was the obvious choice of course. SO I went for something else ::) Wanted something dead easy to do ;)

So next, canopy. Simple top and bottom, a couple of wood pieces et voila! Canopy done.
It will be sanded with the rest of the fuselage. That hide the radio and it is removable for access to plug stuff.
Need 2 pilots to be glued on the canopy floor now!
Then, attention is turning to the wings! Simple platform, so quick and easy job.
The spars are 10x5mm and are put on a 2mm strip to compensate for the sheeting. As usual, built inverted.
The first rib includes the diedhral, and without forgetting to build the servo frame, the build moves very quickly.
TE is from stock. Simple.
