Jim Bell of Waukesha, WI writes: "Completion of the Skyshark kit for my rc Skyraider was the result of a long Wisconsin winter!

Noting that the rc Skyraider prototypes required a fair amount of weight to balance, I made two changes to it: ( 1 ) Reducing the solid sections of wood in the tail feathers and achieving stiffness with carbon fiber reinforced spars, and ( 2 ) Turning the tank sideways so I could locate the servos ahead of the C/G on removable rails. With an OS .60 up front, I obtained the correct balance for the rc Skyraider.

Covering is in Navy gray Easytex fabric. The panel lines are from Ultrakote and insignias are hand cut Easytex. I used a Precision Fiberglass cowl on the front of the rc Skyraider.

I certainly enjoyed building the Skyshark kit. It is a super flyer!"
