Lreinstein Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Has anyone flown the Evektor Harmony ? How does it compare to the CTLS in terms of comfort and performance. I ask because it seems to be the only S-LSA that can be purchased certified for IFR flying... unless I am wrong? Although IFR is not my main concern, it would be nice to be able to legally fly through a layer if it is necessary. I hope this is not inappropriate for this forum, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanik Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 The other way to fly legally in IMC (IFR is already approved for the CTLS) is to drop the plane into E-LSA which was 1/2 the reason I made my CTSW E-LSA. This obviates the prohibition in the FD AOI against flying in IMC. The occasional thin layer or low vis is about all I would dare though. No static dissipation, anti-icing features, lightning strike protection. The plane isn't safe in serious IFR conditions I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lreinstein Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 At this point I do not have to worry about sport pilot restrictions in that I have my class 2 medical and am a Commercial Pilot/CFI. So finding an LSA that can be flown in "soft IFR" is a priority. Thus far the only one I see on the market is the Evektor with the new Harmony as the most tempting. Truthfully I prefer the CTLSi but apparently there is no intention of trying to IFR certify the plane. And, I do see the point that a main limitation is the issue about anti-lightning and static dissipation. So, what to do? The Harmony does not have much of a user base (at least not here in the USA) so that is another downside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mocfly Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 A friend of mine just purchased a Arion LSA. With his avionics, the airplane will fly down a GPS approach perfectly. It's light yet very stable. Oh yeah, it looks very sharp and its buit locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
