Wide-body vs Narrow-body fuselages
What's the difference between the wide-body fuselage, introduced in the mid-90s for the Shadow DD and later Streak models, and the original narrow-body fuselage used in the Shadow BD, Shadow CD and the early Streak?

Dimensions and Sketches
Shadow B wing, boom + tail dimensions
As I’ve stripped down and re-built my own 1989 Shadow B-D (ZK-KLH) project, I have recorded lots of dimensions. These are compiled into the following sketches for the Shadow B-series, including a cross-section of the wing spar.
Unfortunately, without taking my wing spar/leading edge D-box completely apart, some of the internal details are 'best guesses’ and may be wrong. |

Streak wing dimensions
Tim Walker, who was building a Streak kit in the UK, kindly measured his wing. I got to meet Tim and see his Streak project when I visited the UK in August 2014.
I also visited Gerry Larkin in Australia and measured the wing of his Streak (AUS 28-1456). These wing measurements are compiled into the following sketches. |

Glenn Arnott (UK) kindly did a whole series of measurements on his StarStreak wing and tail boom.
These dimensions are compiled into the following sketches. |
