Joe Roberts' newly acquired Shadow CD. First flight in about 3 years after receiving some extensive TLC. A short 10 minute shakedown at Stoke Golding, after it passed its permit inspection. To be followed by a permit check flight, once the few minor bugs are corrected. ASI pitot tube disconnected, CHT gauge not working, tickover in flight too high, more up-trim required, radio not setup correctly. Otherwise it flew very well, and the engine sounded great, a DCDI 503 replacing the original single points ignition engine.
For the eagle eyed, the tube down the centre of the canopy is to stop the 1mm polycarbonate screen from caving in at Vne. The early Shadow BDs had a lower MTOW at 348kg, so every bit of weight saving was important. This was later changed to 1.5mm, for the CD I believe, when the MTOW was raised to 374kg.
