Ace RC aerocommander "Shrike"
Just received this kit BNIB from a fellow local flyer over the weekend. It's twin .049 TD powered, 48" span I think. Kit looks good, not overly handsome but, it was free.
Anyone ever built or flown one?
Like Kim and SuperDave said networking brings many give aways to your front door. I may also be receiving some NIB Cox engines from another fellow! Free of course.

Re: Ace RC aerocommander "Shrike"
All my powered landings will look like his deadsticks! One wheel or the other will touch first.
Good pilot that Bob Hoover. I guess the shrike is more aerobatic than I thought.
Good vid Johnny!

Re: Ace RC aerocommander "Shrike"
I saw him do his Shrike routine and also the Glufstar routine at Reno.
I would love to see pics of your kit & build. A friend built one back in the day. It flew pretty well. I think his had ailerons as I recall. I have a set or two of original Ace wing blanks and some contemporary repros and have thought about building one.
BTW - I love your avitar - I have some Goldberg Satan's on the shelf waiting to be built just as soon as I can get the hobby room in the new house finished. TD .049 powered Lil' and a TD .15 powered Jr. (along with a Super Tigre G21 .35 powered Voodo).

CZ,
I went through the kit briefly and it does have ailerons. Looks to be balsa trailing edge affixed to the foam wing.
As to your Satan models I am in the process of having the Jr. Satan decals reproduced so if your in need of some so you can save your originals let me know.

No I didn't, but I did see him fly in OKC in 96. When I went by his static display, he wasn't there, but I did pick up a signed hat
THe back of the hat says "Hoover's Back" after he proved to the FAA that he wasn't too old to do aerobatics.
