  1. Buckaroo, Great outcome from a heart stopping moment. I love the bit about taking off from the road. I don't think the roads are wide enough for me to that in Ireland! My 2003 Ct2k has the long wings with no winglets or turned down ends giving me 30' wingspan. If the plane is not perfectly level in the hangar it's a problem trying to read fuel content via the site tubes. As Roger said earlier they are accurate if the marks are applied correctly. I made up my own mahogany dip stick and marked it at various intervals whilst filling the tanks. I find the fuel leaves a good telltale on my dipstick unlike the alloy one supplied. After 9 years of ownership and 750 hours of enjoyment is it an issue for me? No way! Even making an sea crossing from Plymouth, England to Cherbourg France with 85 miles of open sea I loved every second. Mac
  2. I even went to the bother of importing 2x sets of Desser 6 ply into Ireland for my plane and yes they are certainly worth the bother. Very rarely do I have the 'luxury' of tarmac landings so the protection of the thicker casing is comforting when landing in fields.Plenty of rubber and a much more solid feel when landing. The only reason I haven't burnt the OEM ones is because I'll be putting them back on the day I have to get the plane weighed .... and off again right afterwards! Mac
  3. Thanks for the new Forum, was wondering where some of the guys went to. Now I can get twice the amount of reading about my most favourite way of spending the rest of my life flying the CT. Looking forward to seeing the bank of information grow in years to come. Mac
