Anyone out there own a Streak Shadow or know anyone who does? It's a Group A homebuilt aircraft. Thinking of buying one.

I dont think the Kit version is microlight legal and there have been a few instances of them losing thier props.
Thinking back a few years wasnt there some hohar about its tailplane when it was sold as the CFM Shadow and it was withdrawn pending safety checks something about the tailplane surfaces parting or something.
Nice looking machine for all that.
Cheers,
Bob

Hey, atleast if the propellor comes off you now which way you're heading!

Could be the biggest kick of your life!!!

The props at the back James so you can see where you've been, Lol.
If it took the tailplane with it the best thing to do would be to cross you left leg over your right just before impact ..................that way they could screw you out of the ground on a left hand thread.
Cheers,
Bob
