I built G-BVLF [912UL] K250 at Old Sarum. Best Star Streak kit build IMHO as I was monitored by Fiona Luckhurst at the Shadow Flying Centre. Has a modified canopy which bulges at the sides and gives more freedom for one's torso. Only reason for sale was my increasing girth!
I changed to a SkyArrow 650T - more room for lardy types.



G-INFO has the present owner's details.

I flew a lot in the company of CFM's Designer David Cook. He always took off and landed with full flap. Keeps one's touchdown speed to the low end and therefore shorter landings and less stress on the nose wheel. Shorter takeoff run as well.





5 Blade prop acted like an airbrake when closing the throttle!
