I built a light Stryker for my son-in-law’s birthday, as part of my ongoing, nefarious plan to suck more people into R/C flying. I love the light Stryker: it’s medium fast, agile, forgiving and relatively crash-proof.
It’s built on a bare Stryker fuselage with the wing spars removed and bits of foam shaved off here and there.
Elevons are 2″ deep, made from 1/8″ balsa covered in black packing tape.
Vertical fins are cut from 1/4″ Dow blue fan-fold foam.
Battery and electronics compartment covers are made from pop bottle plastic and packing tape.
Setup:
- KEDA “Blue Wonder”-style 24g 1300kV motor from StrongRC
- KEDA 12 amp ESC from StrongRC
- GWS 8043 slow fly propeller
Elevon mixer- 2x Towerpro 9g SG90 Servos
- 450 mAh 3 cell LiPo batteries
AUW with the 450 battery is about 330 grams (11.5 oz). You’ll find some build info and photos, here.
