A club member at the RC field gave a bunch of engines, a Star Cruiser and this Shrike to my sons and I.

I've got the babe bee torn down and should be able to have it together soon. Can I use regular fuel tubing inside the fuel tank, at least for now?

Anyone have a lime green spinner? I'll also need the spring starter plate, it's a product specific plate from what I know.

Are the decals being reproduced?

Interesting... I just noticed the shrike travels clockwise instead of counter clockwise, compared to a CL plane.

What prop should it have and are they still available?

Bernie sells 3 blade pusher props. You should be able to find a reverse rotation starter spring, if not I have one I could send you.

I have a reverse non-drag spring.

I know they had some funky metal starter cam also... I think I could make one, just need to know what it looks like and dimensions.
