Unmatched spacious luxury, performance and exhilaration

The Sparker embodies the aviation principle that a plane flies as well as it looks. It excels in speed and agility in the air, while its differentiating sleek lines stand out on the runway. Offering an immersive flight experience in a spacious cockpit, the Sparker is unmatched for pilots seeking both exhilaration and comfort for their missions.

The Sparker is the MOSAIC-ready light sport aircraft that offers stellar situational awareness due to its expansive canopy and digital imagery via three (3) state-of-the-art ten-inch Garmin G3X touch displays within easy reach of the pilot’s fingertips. Designed with a side-by-side two (2) seat configuration with dual control sidesticks, the Sparker’s cockpit is the widest in its category and can easily accommodate crew as tall as 6’6”.

Pre-flight dilemmas regarding luggage are alleviated as the aircraft also touts the highest MTOW in the LSA category offering the largest luggage compartment of 24 cubic feet which is conveniently accessible from within the cabin as well as external doors. For perspective, even two (2) sets of golf clubs can easily be stored for those desiring a relaxing getaway.

The Sparker airframe, built on the proven Stream platform, ensures efficiency and high cruise speeds. Constructed with carbon and Kevlar fibers, it offers maximum strength at a low weight. A Kevlar shell forms the inner fuselage, further enhancing crew compartment strength. Every aircraft features a ballistic recovery chute for optimum safety as a standard option.

The Sparker’s cockpit is ergonomically contoured with individually regulated heated leather seats ensuring the comfort of the crew during flights at chilly altitudes. In addition to the unbeatable large instrument panel that includes three (3) ten-inch Garmin GX3 Touch Flight displays, the panel comes installed with versatile avionics equipment including hideaway info-tables for both pilot and co-pilot to hold a phone or tablet creating the ability to have five (5) displays in the cockpit. The info-tables could also be used as drink holders if desired. The throttles are purposely designed to be two (2) different hand sizes to avoid any confusion. The adjustable pedals, flaps and trim are electrically operated.

Additional options include but are not limited to selection of either a Rotax engine (912ULS/iS, 914iS, and 916iS) or TurboTech 140 HP Turbo engine, IFR capability, Oxygen, and design of custom paint scheme.

Every Sparker is custom ordered, built, and delivered with the same passion and commitment to quality as the first TL aircraft over 35 years ago.
