FLS Sprint

The FLS Sprint is a light aircraft developed in the United Kingdom in the 1980s, originally known as the Trago Mills SAH-1. It was produced by FLS aerospace in two versions, the Club Sprint, and the Sprint 160. In both versions, it is a low wing, two seat, monoplane designed as an advanced aerobatic trainer with +6/-3 g capability. The aircraft is a fully aerobatic trainer similar to the Grob G 115 or the Slingsby Firefly, although it is of conventional riveted aluminium construction rather than the composite construction of the other two aircraft. The Sprint is considered to be, although very similar in design to the Grob and the Slingsby, a much nicer aircraft to fly. AFC Bedford, BAe Dunsfold's Ex. Chief Test Pilot said of the Sprint, "it has made a great impression upon me and I am absolutely convinced that it is the best modern trainer yet produced. The Tiger-Moth of the 21st century."
