Hey Roger You are right! I learnt to fly in a 172. Nice solid aircraft but it is like driving a bus compared to Light Sport Aircraft. I teach on Tecnam P92 Eaglet, nice light crisp handling. The new students take to it like a duck to water! GA guys struggle initally because it is so light and sensitive by comparison to what they are used to! You just can't go past learning on a good stick and rudder plane. It definitely makes you a better pilot! My comment about the CTSW being pitch and & yaw sensitive was a comparison to the Eaglet I am currently teaching in. I would imagine that the CTLS with its longer tail would be slightly less sensitive. But I don't know yet, cause I have not flown it. Yet! I am SOLD on Light Sport Aircraft! Out of 2600 hrs flying, 2300 are in Light Sport, 1500 teaching in Tecnams in the last 18th months. The first time I saw a CT it was love at first sight! What a honey! Good looking lines! A cabin with space! Wonder what she goes like? Cos she sure looks good. Well now that I have flown a CTSW! What is CTLS & CTMC like? And I am looking at them from the perspective of teaching in them. Just on looks the CTLS wins hands down for me! But for a flying school is a CTMC more practical? Is it more durable? Is it better to teach in? I love CT's. But I am asking myself which CT is for me? Any input from you guys is greatly appreciated! Thanks Mahl

Hey Tom I want a plane that is reasonably doclie for students and makes a good solid realiable trainer. And that is why I am asking about the CTMC. I find CTSW has very sensitive pitch & yaw. I have a had real quick look at a CTMC but I had did not have time to really go over it then. I am going to see if I can arrange a test fly with the the local Flight Design distributor. Mahl

Thanks CT4ME That's a good name - I like that! I have yet to figure out how everything works here. And where to place questions? But I guess I will figure it out. I have already picked up some good Info. I went to your website and followed a link to the FAA registry that shows there are only 2 x CTMC's on the registry. Do you or anyone else know of somebody that has one? Or who has any experience with them? Thanks Mate Mahl

Hi Guys I am from Australia and found your forum some months back but never got around to reading much until now. I have been interested in CT's for a long time. It's good to find a forum with so many knowledgable people freely giving information and insights on the in's and out's of CT's. I just got checked out on a CTSW a few months ago. And would like to ask all sorts of questions about what they are like to live with on a day to day basis. Clearly there is lots of info already on the forum which I am reading with great enthusiam. I currently teach flying in a Tecnam P92 Eaglet. I am a Senior Instructor under Recreational Aircraft Australia which is the governing body in Australia.(Similar to US Sport Pilot Instructor) I am exploring the possibilty of using a CTLS or a CTMC for training. I want to get the lowdown from people who really know. So I hope you don't mind me asking questions. Mahl
