Sport Pilot Talk

tadel001 I guess they have been listening to the market. Many of the changes they are making are an absolute necessity. The fuel system, landing gear and flight characteristics are major problems necessitating major improvements. I will be interested to see if they developed a better airplane. Somet...

Thanks for the input...appricated. I know Lockwood will tell you it's all right but he won't put it in writing. In fact I don't think you'll find anywhere in writing that a 912 will be good to go with 10%.

Rotax I beleive says no more then 5% ethanol in mogas. The airplane manufacturer won't sign off on more BUT our state has decicided to go to 10% ethanol in their MOGAS. Apparently the plane will burn it but If I use it will my insurance still cover me?

Ed has nailed the “landing” aspect of the CT to a “T” in his last post so there’s no since in pushing on there. I thought maybe I’d work on the “fuel” opinions a little bit.

Super Cub, I don't think we're ganging up. Just not letting a very small minority opinion turn into a large one. Again - there are hundreds of CT's flying around the world with a very small minority complaining about fuel problems. In reality the fuel system in the CT is great. No gauges to fail, no...

Art Some have suggested in the private forums that you really aren't who you say you are....I don't know for sure but when I looked up in the registry for Pileggi I found one plane in CA and one in OR - neither were a CT. I can't find a CT registered in MD. Maybe your's is to new to have hit the reg...

If you look at the accident reports many of the pilots were CFIs. While you can argue that they should have had more training specific to the CT before attempting to fly it, the FAA says they should be able to fly any single engine airplane based upon there certificates. They can fly Cessnas, Piper...

Let's put the blame where the blame belongs.... The CT is a great LSA - there are hundreds around the world flying just fine. It's a well built aircraft and has passed all required tests in many different countries requiring different specifications. The problem is not with the airplane - the proble...
