            Build fast and fly fast, the S-16 has 
            the quick build built in.  The outcome is a precise, built to 
            last aircraft.  The metal wings and control surfaces come 
            pre-formed with most all holes pilot drilled.  The sleek 
            fuselage assembles from our four molded shells attached to a welded 
            steel cockpit cage for extra accurate construction and crew 
            protection.  To fly the Shekari is to experience sweet control 
            harmony and comforting stability coupled with aerobatic prowess.
