Bill3558 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I flew my CTLS from Hendersonville (0A7) to Mount Pleasant (KLRO) near Charleston. 200 miles each way. Came back today. Had 118 knots TAS at 5100 rpm but headwinds slowed me down. What’s amazing to me is I bought no fuel. Over 400 miles and I landed with 13 gallons on board. What a great little airplane.

GrassStripFlyBoy Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 These birds make cross country work nice. I often equate things back to my old Cessna 150, the slower cruise really hurt with any headwind over 10k, and I'd start getting nervous anything close to 3 hours without fueling. Enter the CT, even with some headwind you still make decent ground speed, and the endurance is almost 2X, put those together and yes it's really hard to beat this package. Fun / Economical / Capable / Good Looks / Safety - Pick all 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
