"I am very impressed with Shadow series of aircraft, the design, systems, construction and flight handling. This unusual approach to engineering has resulted in an exceptional aircraft." |

"I found the Shadow to be an outstanding aircraft. When seated in the front cockpit the pilot has a feeling of quality and control. In an age of look-alike aeroplanes, it is nice to find a design that is truly on the cutting edge of both engineering and technology." |
