10/31/2007. This two-seat fully aerobatic light aircraft was designed by Sydney A. Holloway and the prototype was manufactured at Bodmin, Cornwall, UK. First flight was made by Air Vice-Marshal Geoffrey Cairns on August 23, 1983. Powered by an 118 hp Avco Lycoming O-235-L2A flat-four cylinder engine, the aircraft gained its type certificate on December 12, 1985. The rights were sold to Orca Aircraft in 1987, when Orca went broke in 1989 the rights went to FLS Aerospace, who marketed the aircraft as the FLS Sprint 160. Five aircraft, powered by an 160 hp Textron Lycoming AEIO-320-D1B were produced between 1993 and 1998; those, and the pictured prototype, are still on the UK Registry.
