The TLAC (The Light Aircraft Company) Sherwood Scout is a handsome high-wing, side-by-side two-seater with handy folding wings, various engine options, and nose- or tailwheel. The Scout can trace its lineage as far back as 1983, when the Avid Flyer was first introduced. The basic design was also to be used for the Denney Kitfox, Rocky Mountain Ridge Runner and the Flying K Sky Raider. The latter morphed into the Just Aircraft Escapade which−after a long and complicated gestation−was marketed in the UK by the late Terry Francis as the Reality Escapade. When TLAC bought the design in 2013 the first thing Paul and his team did was implement a significant number of improvements to both its design and construction.
