robh Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 I am thinking of buying a 2007 CTSW and I am looking for someone in the Phoenix area to take me up so I can see how it performs. I would be happy to pay to cover your costs. I am a private pilot and most of my experience is in the C-152 and C-172 Thanks
coppercity Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Rob, I own Copper City Aviation Services with a CTLS down in Bisbee Az. We are the Flight Design Pilot Center and Sales reps for Arizona and would be happy to help you out. I have about 600 hrs instructing in a 2007 CTSW that we owned prior to the LS and am approaching 350 hrs in our CTLS. Give us a call.

coppercity Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Think of the CTSw as a little sports car, and the LS is more like a Cadillac. They do fly a bit different because the LS is over a foot longer so it has a little better yaw stability and is not so sensitive on the pitch control. The hardest thing about transitioning to the CTs is the sight picture during landing compared to to a 152 or 172, and getting used to a low energy aerodynamically clean airframe. You can learn this sight picture and energy management in the LS and it will be basically the same in the SW. The SW will just make you work your feet a little more to make things happen.

rookie Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Hi Rob, You will love the CTsw. I had a 152 & 172. Last year I transitioned to a 2007 CTsw and never looked back. It's the most fun to fly you can imagine. I bought mine from a guy in the Phoenix area and had Eric check me out and fly it back home for me. Eric is the best CFI I ever had and a fun guy to fly with. As he said going from a 152 to the CTsw there is a major change in sight picture. Once you get used to it there's no going back. The CTLS is easier to fly but now that I'm used to it I've come to love the twitchy handling of the CTsw. Check out both, Eric has a beautiful CTLS. al meyer
