Skynetic Shrike Glider 1450mm (57") Wingspan - PNP Reviews

4.5 Rating 140 Reviews
i AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS ARF. I would request that night light configuration be standardized. No white tail light? Wing tip red/greed lights Change the shipping box to allow dismantlement of aircraft for storage and transport. I will add a quick connector to the elevator control horn and replace the push rod length to connect easily on reassembly.

The Shrike is a great flying airplane and glides the way it should.The rudder and aileron wires were switched label wise. The spinner needs a better method of tightening, I had to use blue thread-lock. Otherwise, it got my 5 stars.

Glider arrived missing the horizontal stabilizer. Contacted Motion RC and they had a replacement shipped out the next day. Great customer service. Glider appears to be extremely well made and graphics are clean and crisp.

Arrived in great condition. Quality plane. Went together quickly. Elevator and rudder mislabeled. No biggie. Flew the maiden yesterday. Took off with authority at half throttle and was an easy to hand launch.. I did try the flaps and my plane and it did a complete loop. I guess too much speed and too much flaps? I did glue in the horizontal stabilizer in. It seems too flimsy without glue. I like the nav lights. I also liked the hidden servos for the elevator and rudder. A very nice touch. Anyway, the plane flew great! It did required some slight trimming. It's seemed pretty fast too. Great buy. Good for the beginner and intermediate flyer. It takes some space to land. So come in low and expect a long approach. Enjoy another product from Motion RC

The Shrike is a fantastic plane for beginner or experienced pilots. Easy to hand toss, stable in the air, and super long flight times. Some things to be mindful of. I recommend glueing the horizontal stabilizer on. I just didn’t want it moving in flight. Second thing remember it’s a glider not an acrobatic plane. Take it easy with your speed on it you can over load the wing. 3rd thing is be mindful of your loose wires in the battery bay the outruner motor is exposed and you really don’t want it eating your wires. In closing if your looking for a wonderful inexpensive glider it’s fantastic airplane just remember it’s a glider not a racer.
