It's finally here! The Shrike is back and better than ever!

The Shrike was originally built by Harris Nelson and is an outstanding pitcheron design. We have made some improvements while not abandoning the original design features. One of the biggest improvements is the fuselage quality (on kits II and III...see below). We have had a new mold produced by one of  the best composite builder in the USA with European-like seamwork and painted in the mold finishing. Everything is 2.4GHZ friendly. You can feel patriotic knowing that all parts to this kit have been made in the USA. Check out the options below.

3 Kit options to fit your building style...

Note: We currently have limited quantities of these kits. Get them while you can to ensure having it built by Spring. We have them ready to ship right now and will update this page as we sell out of a particular option.
(Usually ships within 1-3 Days)

The Shrike makes a perfect “take along” airplane. It can easily fit into a small rifle case or even an arrow case, which could be placed in an airline overhead compartment.

The Shrike can fly in light lift but really comes alive when the wind is blowing.

A computer radio with elevon mixing is the perfect choice to fly the Shrike but you could use a simple two-channel single stick radio with an optional mixer. All it takes is two channels. The wing does all the work. The tail does not move.
