If you can get hold of a Star Streak you will not regret it. I built one at Old Sarum, using the many skills of The Shadow Flight Centre [Fiona and Raymond and Mike] who did all the hard work, leaving me to do the cockpit and fit a 912 UL Rotax. CFM made the wings [on their jig] and the wing on a Star Streak is small but more than capable of doing circuits with the trikes. Smaller chord wing gave lighter ailerons and more effective flaps.



I bulged the cockpit sides to get more shoulder room.

My trouble was, I expanded with middle age

and eventually had to buy a bigger cockpit - Sky Arrow 650.
