Streak Shadow

 

The Streak Shadow has been developed from the award winning series produced Shadow Microlight.   Categorised as a homebuilt amateur produced aircraft it is designated as a 'Ultralight' in Europe and 'Experimental' in the U.S. The new design of wing coupled with light airframe weight and the powerful engine gives this aircraft OUTSTANDING perform­ance.  Staggering acceleration and exhila­rating sustained climb rates are combined with 100 mph hands off cruise.   CFM's new wing retains the inherant saftey with its aerodynamics of no 'defined' stall and is very spin resistant.   With a total fuel capac­ity of 12 imperial gallons (14.4  U.S. Galls) and endurance of approximately five and a half hours at economic cruise a range of about 400 statute miles is normal.
If a trailer is used for transport the Streak can be readied for flight in less than 10 minutes.   Take off and landings can be accomplished from runways, sports grounds and meadows.  Fun combined with safety are the key factors when flying a Streak Shadow.   .
AFTER ALL, SEEING IS BELIEVING.
