    Yes! I did visit that forum and people are supercool there. One of them allowed me to fly his CT 2K, not exactly a CTLS but close enough to give me an ideal of the CT planes. Thanks!

    His final approach speed was 55, but he later reduced the airspeed further to 40, I believe.

    Seek input on buying a LSA

    I asked the owner about the issue of all three wheels touching down simultaneously. He mentioned it might have something to do with the characteristics of the CT2K. He couldn’t hold the nose wheel up during landing and said that later models might have improved in this regard. When I fly other...

    Seek input on buying a LSA

    I agree that installing a BRS on the CT can be quite expensive, especially considering its low stall speed of 39 knots—the BRS might seem like a questionable investment. However, it's important to consider peace of mind for everyone involved. As they say, "Happy wife, happy life," so sometimes I...

    More than likely they are S-LSA, alas. I won't mind going through the 120 hours, but all those courses seem to be offered in East Coast... nothing in California. Will do more digging. Thanks

    I’m considering purchasing a used Flight Design CTLS and would love your feedback/suggestions. My mission is primarily to fly for fun and keep my IFR/CPL skills sharp, with occasional trips from KTOA to KCCR (monthly visit of my child who lives in SF area) I'm drawn to the CTLS for its lower...

    Should I buy a plane... or Not?

    I wanted to give everyone who replied to my post an update on my progress. I posted this topic about five or six months ago and received lots of valuable advice from this forum. Long story short, I took the advice and joined a local fly club at the end of November. Since then, I've attended...

    Should I buy a plane... or Not?

    Got accepted at a local fly club yesterday, and will meet with other aviators soon (monthly event). Sadly, in my home airport KTOA, a plane crashed and two pilots were fatally injured, around 11 am today. Was there for my flight, which was canceled due to the airport closure. Won't want to...

    Should I buy a plane... or Not?

    I can never thank you enough for your kind, encouraging, and insightful replies! I felt that my journey got renewed. Summary: 1. Change the mission from traveling to having fun. As @hindsight2020 so rightfully pointed out, traveling to places was a self-limited mission that I had in mind...

    Should I buy a plane... or Not?

    This question has bugged me for over a year. I had asked other questions during my days learning to fly and pass check rides, and I was lucky enough to get input from many of you. That's why I decided to reach out again. In order to receive more relevant advice and recommendation from this...
