If you do a search of this forum there was a list of classic planes,  N-30 and old time. S?P

     It looks like Ty has updated this list in June of this year and I didn't see it on the list. See the link above.

   This is why I think N-30 should be dropped. The time spread is getting really wide and no one is really familiar with the designs except maybe those who designed something. The class is really just a redundant class. I know most guys are looking for a double duty airplane for PAMPA classes also but there are other good designs for this in the Classic/Super 70s era. If you get into checking things closer, "new" stunt designs start getting fewer and fewer in this time period as time passes on. In these vintage classes, it is up to the pilot to provide proof that his specific design is compliant with the rules.

I don't remember any model called the Shrike and the only one named that was a 1930's USAAC dive bomber that looks more like a Stuka that the Stuka did.

What magazine or contest did you see this model at? I went through every magazine I had  plus others that fit into the N30 era, but the date keeps moving,soon to be a now era. D>K

   A Randy Smith design.

Yup, one of Randy's excellent designs. I recall Mike Haverly taking his first one to Edmonton. Pretty sure it was in 2010. How old the design is would be a question for Randy Smith, so a call would get the exact answer. Wish him well from all of us, while you're at it!   y1 Steve
