| The Barracuda, made entirely of spruce and plywood, is a fast, high performance, side by side two place with retractable, tricycle gear. Rated for limited acrobatics, it has a 200 MPH cruise speed and 2,100 FPM rate of climb with a Lycoming O540 Engine. Designed by RAF pilot, Geoff Siers, to fly like a fighter, power may vary from 200 to 300 horsepower. A stall speed of 62 makes landing easy. The comfortable 40 inch wide cockpit, with the sound deadening properties of wood, makes it a wonderful cross-country tourer. The structure is elegant and simple, like a model airplane, with no complex jigging. The Barracuda won the "most outstanding new design" at Oshkosh.
