Trago Mills Sprint 160

Huh ? I hear you utter. Read on ...
The Sprint 160 was a technically brilliant aircraft much admired by all who flew it, which never achieved the success
it deserved, being dogged by years of commercial frustration. It was originally designed and built under the patronage of Mike Robinson, the owner of the Trago Mills chain of stores and an avid pilot.
It was originally conceived as a classic British trainer with aerobatic capabilities. The original model, registered in 1980,
was designated the SAH-1 and was fitted with a 118 hp Lycoming engine driving a fixed pitch prop.
The more popular varient we've modelled here is the Sprint-160 fitted with a 160 hp engine and a constant speed prop.
See 'History.txt' with the aircraft for more details. The aircraft will fly in FSX with the usual provisos.
Once again Martin was the source of all the techical stuff and Brian made it fly to the specs.
It's now available from the library at britsim.com .
Cheers
