I am selling my much loved and very well cared for Thruster Tailwheel Sprint due to giving up flying and family commitments.
The Thruster Sprint is a comfortable compact travelling machine.
This machine was the last to be built in December 2005 by Gordon Pill at Ginge for me and I have owned it since new and flown 250 hours. It has been to France and back.
It cruises at 70 knots using 12/13 litres/hr Mogas. The Jabiru 2200 4 stroke engine is very quiet and efficient. The cockpit is fully enclosed and warm. The tailwheel version is strong and ideal for grass strips, not using much space, and kind to the undercarriage.
A fun challenge and change from nosewheel flying
The visibility is exceptional and with doors off there is nothing in the way for good photography, reminiscent of helicopter viewing.
The storage is huge, a removable clear panel gives access to the fuselage where tent, sleeping bags etc can be stored. There is a luggage net and basket to stop any displacement during flight. There is also a net in front of the instrument panel for maps, and baskets under the seats for gloves, phones etc. all accessible during flight.
All the struts and nuts and bolts are clearly visible and not covered by metal panels.
The wings are covered in very strong Ultralam fabric which is very good condition.
G-DIDY has always been hangared. It has never been pranged. All paperwork and TADS etc. are in order. The oil has always been changed every 25 hours.
It always starts on the button.
This is a complete ready to use package and hangarage available
