Sprint 160

Competent and responsible pilots are sought to join a select new group to operate the top-quality and fully aerobatic Sprint 160 G-OAGI. If you want move beyond straight-and-level onto sports flying and aerobatics in a safe and comfortable aeroplane you can live with, then here is a great opportunity.

A flight test of G-OAGI was featured in "Flyer" magazine and "Loop" in October 2008:
"The Sprint 160 is a lovely, fine-handling and well engineered aeroplane..."; Philip Whiteman, "Flyer".
"The Sprint 160 is pretty similar in performance to the Bulldog although the Sprint would almost certainly be cheaper to run and maintain"; Mark Greenfield, Ultimate High.

G-OAGI operates on a LAA (PFA) Permit to Fly and has been professionally maintained. It is fully aerobatic including spinning and inverted flight and can perform the Standard Sequence. It also makes cross-country a joy with steady cruise, wonderful visibility and economy from its fuel-injected engine and constant-speed prop.
