Talk:Flight Design CT

message: Range is listed as 2000 km.  If this is at cruising speed of 207 km/h, then the plane must fly for 9.6 hours.
Cruising speed is at 75% power, or 75 horsepower.  9.6 hours like this is 724 hp-hours.  If that flight burns 33 gallons of gasoline, it's 21.9 hp-hours/gallon.
That's not right.  Gasoline engines deliver about 11 hp-hours/gallon.  Something is off by a factor of 2.

thread_title:  Range number can't be right 

message: this link Pilot Operating Handbookshould be deleted because it controversery company's information. We are the representatives and this information is not needed in wikipedia store. - Flyingved (talk) 11:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If this information should not be on the internet then why is posted on your US distributor's website? If you object to it being posted on the internet then surely the right thing to do would be to ask them to remove it and then that would justify removing the external link from this article. As long as they have posted it, and as your representatives in the USA they would seem to have the legal right to do so, then it makes a very good potential reference for this article and doesn't violate any Wikipedia policy to have it linked from here. - Ahunt (talk) 12:02, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The article is currently name Flight Design CTSW, but describes the whole CT family for aircraft. I propose that it be moved to Flight Design CT (currently a redirect to this article) as the original aircraft in the series and the name of the whole range, with redirects to point to this article from all the variant names. - Ahunt (talk) 23:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Article name

message: This is a very low price and it is quoted in euros, unusual for an American company especially as other prices are in dollars, could we have a reference please? 2.123.152.202 (talk) 15:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I updated the price, plus added the exact model, date and ref. The price is in Euros, because it is a German company. - Ahunt (talk) 23:38, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Price 

message: "The CTSW is so efficient that it needs to have the pitch of the propeller reduced significantly to stay within the 120-knot (222 km/h) maximum speed of the American Light-sport Aircraft (LSA) rules; in other countries, the CTSW has a higher cruising speed."
There are two US CTSW owners trying to validate the accuracy of this statement and we cannot find any authoritative reference, other than the quoted article, that it is true.  There is no indication in the Pilot Operating Handbook, the Aircraft Maintenance Manual or the Propeller Manual that the prop must be readjusted for the US market.  This is an issue because the article implies that changing the prop pitch might cause the aircraft to be non-compliant with LSA aircraft requirements.  US pilots often vary the pitch of the prop to optimize cruise, climb or altitude performance.  
What is the best approach for resolving this? Grumpyoldgeek (talk) 21:34, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a copy of the ref cited (I actually wrote that ref about the CT2K version, which was published by COPA in 2004) and there is no mention of this in my review of the aircraft. I think it must have been added later by someone so I will remove it. - Ahunt (talk) 00:16, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much.  If I can provide any help regarding CTSW airplanes, please leave me a message. Grumpyoldgeek (talk) 04:17, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

text: Glad we could sort that one out! If there are any other dubious claims here, or if you want a copy of the ref article cited just let me know.- Ahunt (talk) 09:58, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
