Fly Boss Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Just bought a CTLS and will pick it up in January to fly back from Miami to Virginia. Selling my Rans S12 aircraft as it is time to move on up. Being all excited and such about this new acquisition, I'm looking for logo "stuff" like: T-Shirts, Hats, Prop Covers, etc., but for the life of me I can't seem to find anything with the FD name on it other than airplanes. Danny

Danny what year is the plane? whats in the cockpit...
Fly Boss Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 2007 model, one of the first. Actually it is the plane whose tail number is seen in the CT Catalog (N860LS) (not the brochure). Full glass panel with Dynon EFIS, EMS, Garmin 696, Auto Pilot. Selling a 2007 Rans S-12 ELSA to help pay for it.
Anticept Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Ah so you are the one that got a hold of 860LS . I was trying to get that one but it sold before I could!
Jacques Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Daniel I have a shirt like Tom is wearing on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXf469Wj2Sc Large... too large for me never used it
procharger Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Daniel where are you in Va. I live in Suffolk have CTSW
Fly Boss Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 I fly out of 92VA and frequent Suffolk regularly. Will be heading up the Virginia Festival of Flight in 2016.
Fly Boss Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 Daniel I have a shirt like Tom is wearing on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXf469Wj2Sc Large... too large for me never used it I'm kind of a larger version of the one in the video.
Fly Boss Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 Ah so you are the one that got a hold of 860LS . I was trying to get that one but it sold before I could! Sorry about that. Very much looking forward to bringing it back home in January.
Doug G. Posted December 12, 2015 Report Posted December 12, 2015 Danny, do a search for "logo" on the forum and you will find some that you may be able to use.

Anticept Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 I have the .ai (vector) file of the flight design logo...
Doug G. Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 Works for me, try " logo hats" (without the quotes).
CT4ME Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 You have to make sure you are searching the whole forum, and not just "this topic". To make sure, click the CTFlier Banner picture... then do the search.
FlyingMonkey Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 I always thought it was weird that FD doesn't have a web store where we could buy logo merchandise.
Ian Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 I always thought it was weird that FD doesn't have a web store where we could buy logo merchandise. I think that's a very, very American thing, we Europeans just don't wear baseball caps (especially facing the wrong way LOL)
FastEddieB Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 We I think that's a very, very American thing, we Europeans just don't wear baseball caps (especially facing the wrong way LOL) I think the British, in particular, are a quite reserved and conservative lot that would tend to shy away from silly hats. Usually, that is!
Ian Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 Tried one once Eddie but just couldn't get in the cockpit
FlyingMonkey Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 I think that's a very, very American thing, we Europeans just don't wear baseball caps (especially facing the wrong way LOL) I almost never wear hats of any kind. But I'd love to have some FD logo polo-style shirts and T-shirts. Maybe even an FD patch to put on a leather bomber jacket! Ian, can't you imagine how stylish you'd look in this with an FD logo on it:
Fly Boss Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Posted December 14, 2015 I'm glad I have solicited so much conversation on the topic. As has been pointed out, this is not a new issue (search "logo" on the front forum page) but short of making our own items, it does not appear like there is a suitable source of numerous items. Once I get my plane back to Virginia, perhaps I'll look into the FD Memorabilia Website. Who knows. Danny
Fly Boss Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Posted December 14, 2015 Sorry about that. Very much looking forward to bringing it back home in January. I am amazed by the popularity of this particular aircraft. Look at any pictures online and so many of them have the N860LS aircraft displayed. This plane was obviously one of the first CTLS produced (07-11-13) and its images are used quite often to this day. I even saw one image of the panel that is different than the panel in it now. Looks like the GPS was updated from the 395/495 Garmin to the 695 in it now. I guess the plane was quite the tramp, getting around as much as it did.
FlyingMonkey Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 I guess the plane was quite the tramp, getting around as much as it did. We prefer the term "free spirit" over "tramp"...
Tip Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 I test flew it @ Sebring & then ordered mine in February 2008. I think that they may have trailered it from FDUSA that year to The Expo. Ken Godin flew it home.

It was Flight Design USA's demo/media airplane for quite some time.
