Full Garmin glass panel with 3 10" G3X displays, Garmin GMC 507 autopilot, Garmin 245R ADSB in and out, Garmin radios, and an option for IFR flight with the Garmin GTN 650 avionics package. An AOA indicator is also incorporated into the G3X system for added warning against stalls.

Sparker Design Features/Safety: 
Hydraulic retractable landing gear
Trailing link main gear for robust performance on tarmac and grass fields.
Carbon composite skin technology with Kevlar encased cockpit for added safety
Ergonomic side-stick controls with electronic aileron and elevator trim.
The Sparker offers the Stratos Magnum 601 ballistic recovery chute. The design of the Sparker also incorporates a Kevlar wrapped cockpit. TL has engineered the Stream and the Sparker to have crumple zones not dissimilar to an automobile. The Kevlar keeps the carbon from shattering and the crumple zones help to absorb impact in the unfortunate event of a collision.

Performance/Efficiency:
Wide and versatile flight envelope. Cruise speeds of 165-175 kts (916iS) with a stall speed of 44 kts and up to 2000 fpm climb. This wide envelope is due in part to the electric slotted fowler flaps which prove very effective at slowing the aircraft down.
Incredible efficiency with an estimated 7 gph fuel burn at cruise. The Sparker was designed with efficiency in mind. The Rotax gives an expected range of 900 to1000 miles depending on the power plant.
