TL Ultralight Condor
The TL Ultralight TL-132 Condor and TL-232 Condor Plus are single engine, highwing ultralight aircraft designed and built in the Czech Republic in the mid-1990s. They remain in production in 2010. Design and development. The Condor and Condor Plus are closely related and similar highwing ultralight aircraft, seating two side-by side with dual control. They are both of conventional layout, the principal differences being the more powerful engine, cut down rear fuselage and extended rear cabin glazing of the Condor Plus. Both have fabric covered metal structures, though the Plus has composite rear fuselage decking. The  wing has constant chord with slightly blunted tips, with flaps filling the trailing edge inboard of the ailerons. The main wing struts are V-shaped and attached to the lower fuselage, assisted by some secondary bracing. Fin and rudder are swept, with a long dorsal fillet. The tailplane is mounted on top of the fuselage and has a swept leading edge. A trim tab on the starboard elevator is flight adjustable only on the Condor Plus. Both types normally have fixed tricycle undercarriages, with mainwheels on cantilever legs. Wheel and leg fairings are an option. A fixed conventional undercarriage with  a tailwheel is also available. The Condor is powered by a 39.5 kW (53 hp) Rotax 503.2 V UL CB. The standard engine of the Condor Plus is the 48.5 kW (65 hp) Rotax 582 UL-DCDI, driving a two blade propeller, but the 59.7 kW (80 hp) Rotax 912 UL-DCDI or the 74.6 kW (100 hp) Rotax 912 ULS, both with three blade airscrews, are options. With the 912 ULS engine, the TL-232 is known as the Power Condor. The Condor first flew in 1993, the Condor Plus in 1994. Operational history. By September 2010, 115 examples of  the two types had been built. European registers, Russia excluded, show 36 TL-132s and 69 TL-232s earlier in that year.
