Harris Nelson Shrike
I have stopped producing Shrike’s for now. I may reconsider at some time down the road but I’m burned out producing this great kit. If you have a Shrike you are one of the lucky ones. Harris Nelson must know some magic because his design is one of the exceptional ones.
I still need to produce some of the promised Spyder kits and I will but for now I want to concentrate on some of my own projects. I’ll post something when I have kits ready for sale.
In the mean time I do have individual components that I keep in stock only for folks that have already purchased a Shrike. In that way, if they need a replacement part to repair a damaged Shrike I can accommodate them.
If you are a Shrike owner and need parts just send me an e-mail and I’ll let you know what I can do.
To all of you Shrike owners, thanks for your business and especially for your patience. I know I’m not the fastest at production.
More as it happens,
Ed

The Shrike is one of the quickest pitcheron race rockets on the slope. It can out turn just about any of the current crop of molded racers and will beat many of them on the straight aways, yet it is a joy to just fun fly. If you like fast roll rates, this is the plane for you. It’s just one of the most fun planes out there.
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.

If you are a Shrike owner and would like to send in photos, we will post them on our Shrike Owners page. This is a great resource for new kit owners as well. The variety of color schemes is great!
