Still looking for a hanger at airfield or even private property in South East Qld. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time, and Safe Flying, Dave.

Does anyone know of a hanger that is avail asap in the South East corner of Queensland?

Hi Guy's. Just a quick one. I have tonight uploaded three video's to our youtube channel (tannerair) of the Ross Leach Shadow taken on about 19th August 2011, when we took delivery. It is a beautiful aircraft, and will hopefully get to take a number of new video's during the next month weather willing. We have eventually aquired the necessary materials to finish the repair work on Shadow 1and expect it to be flying by Christmas. More Later. Thanks for your time, and Safe Flying, Dave.

Can anyone tell me anything about constant speed feathering props for the Jabaru 2200 engine in pusher configeration?

Will be available after the 1st of Sept 2011, at "tannerair" on youtube.

Well Guys, Have purchased my second shadow! It was built by Ross Leach from Nerangbah, in Qld and is a beautiful machine. He claimed it was the best appointed in Australia, and I agree wholeheartedly. it was built around 1994, and now has a Jabaroo 2200 motor. i will be uploading both photo's and details to youtube in the near future. Thanks for your time, and Safe Flying, Dave.

D Do you know who owns the shadow in Cairns and how much he wants for it? Would appreciate any info. Dave.

Hi, Would think Bert Flood in Melbourne would be able to assist, but if not, I will check mine and let you know where mine came from. Dave.

Dave.My Appologies, Must have missed your post, so sorry, but have'nt been here much and don't know my way around much. No I am not related. But Thanks.

Hi Guys, Just thought I would put my two bobs worth in. This is in relation to Streak Shadows. The thirteenth streak shadow in Australia has just been completed in Victoria, and is currently being painted. As I understand it six or seven are currently registered and flown fairly regularly. Ian Fergason from near Sheperton in Victoria was the Australian distributer of Shadow aircraft, His Shadow demostrator (a factory built version, shipped to Australia by container) was hanging in the ceiling of the British Pavillion at Expo 88 in Brisbane, and is currently located near Cairns. The other shadow displayed at Expo 88, was the aircraft that Brian Milton flew from England to Australia, called the "Dalgety Flyer",and is now in the Power House museum in Sydney. It is displayed every few months, on the display rotation system. I flew Ian's demonstrator in the early 90's, and can assure they are a rocket ship of very tame flying qualities. I have owned a Rotax 582 (65HP-two stroke) powered kit version for the past three years and have just purchased a second Shadow, and will take delivery of it in August. It is a Jabaroo 2200 (90HP-four stroke) powered aircraft. Shadows are renowned for their benign flying qualities, Held Stall attempts result in porpoise descents of approx three hundred feet in each step, the aircraft will not spin, and has docile and predictable flying qualities. Shadows do have an issue with the rear seat in that the original design left the passenger rather cramped, but a deeper footwell mod resolves the cramped seating position, and practice makes entry and egress difficulties rather a non issue. I am 6'2" in the old money and have no problems. The pilot does however have the gold in that the flying position is that of a sports car and is comfortable for hours of flying, (bladder willing) and affords glider visability. Thanks for your time and Happy Flying, Dave
