    Thanks for your answers. I will check on the MRA.

    I noticed that the 2011 CTLS POH has tons more info than the 2008 CTSW AOI that came with my plane in 2008. Is anybody using a more recent CTLS handbook for info while flying a CTSW? Thanks! Robin

    My CTSW is a 2007 - the last year before the CTLS - so I would imagine it has the spring. thanks for the info! Robin

    Trying to improve my trim technique from downwind through to final approach in my CTSW. Always looking for ways to stabilize my pattern airspeed and get better landings. Any thoughts or advice on how to trim in the pattern? Thanks!

    Anybody have any suggestions for a Tug or Tow Bar for the 2007 CTSW? Any manufacturers or modifications approve by FD? Getting older and thinking ahead on easier ways for getting the plane in and out of hangar.

    Thanks to all for your input. The article posted by Madhatter is really interesting reading. Stuff I had not read before about Rotax 912 and it's Bing Carburetor.

    How many CTSW/CTLS owners use the Carburetor Heat during the landing phase, ie pulling it on when you put down the first flaps abeam the numbers in downwind? The POH check list say to use it - but there is a theory by many CTSW drivers that the Rotax 100hp is not prone to carb icing. Your thoughts please.

    Thanks Everyone. Your answers helped a lot. I know that CAS is listed in the CTSW POH for V-speeds, but, how do I determine the difference between my IAS shown and the CAS? Is there a formula to calculate the difference between IAS and CAS, while in flight? Robin

    I fly a 2007 CTSW with 100Hp Rotax. My Dynon 100 EFIS shows IAS. At what point, in altitude or otherwise, do I need to convert to using estimated TAS in regards to VNE, or any other V speeds? Thanks! Robin

    Alrighty! Been flying my CTSW for 13 years and never knew that!

    What do you mean by mushroom side? Not heard that term before now.

    Where are owners mounting their iPad and/or iPhone in the CTSW. I use foreflight as a backup and still have not found a good mount solution that does not block the "glass instruments and Aria 660" on my panel.
