Handling Characteristics of the Flight Design CTSW
A friend and I were discussing the Flight Design CT2K and CTSW LSA's
and he mentioned that he had read in Wikipedia that "The CTSW is reported to be somewhat more challenging to fly than other LSA, owing to the higher wing loading and low drag; the low drag increases speed but requires additional planning in the decent." Now, I am NOT touting Wikipedia as a source of pilot reports, but I am wondering if anyone in the group has "first hand" experience flying the CTSW and could comment on this assertion. I have heard repeatedly that most of the LSA's out there do not handle as benignly as a Cessna 150 or a Cherokee 140, but I have never heard that a CTSW was anymore challenging than the rest of the LSA's. It would be great is Jay, the group's favorite inn-keeper (who has mentioned flying the CTSW) or others with actual experience could comment. Thanks in advance and blue skies to you all . . . John |
