Thanks. My microlight version cruises at 60-80kts trimmed level flight and at 60kts will go for 2hrs + 30mins reserve, burning 12litres fuel per hour with my Rotax 582UL.

Bought a Shadow this week at Old Sarum! They are so cool and I wanted one for ages. Mine is a Group 'A' type so I can count the hours on the JAR PPL. It's a Streak and it is a minter with a Rotax 618 on the back (7 Hours on the engine!).

Are you based at Popham?
