Bill3558 Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Since I crashed N121YT, I had been pretty down in the dumps. I decided to take a look at a plane in Boston. So I flew Delta to take a look at it. The owner was very helpful, and I decided to buy it. I flew it home to North Carolina. Landed yesterday at my home airport with some of my pilot buddies on the side of the runway applauding. It was a highlight of my life. About 7 hours flight time. It was a great flight. Had flight following the whole time. I now own N838Q. A beautiful 2013 CTLSI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastEddieB Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'd love to check out your new CT. My digs are roughly 100nm WNW, so an easy flight for either one of us: I was at OA7 in my Sky Arrow with a friend in his Remos about a month ago - nice little airport and I'm looking for any excuse to fly on nice days now that I'm post-annual. As an aside, on my iPad running OS 15.1 and Safari, I can no longer seem to post replies to threads on just this forum. I'm logged in and the reply field is greyed out: I tried logging out and back in - no joy. No problem on my iPhone or Mac. Any thoughts? Feel free to PM me if you want to avoid derailing the thread.

Animosity2k Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Is it just me or does that mushroom look wrapped in leather with deviated colored stitching? .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Flapper Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Congratulations! I got my 2008 CTLS about one year ago and have enjoyed every flight. I live in Gold Hill airpark (NC25), a little north east of Charlotte, Stop by for a visit sometime. I'll have to visit your airport when we get some nice flying weather.

CTSW Bob Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Great shot. Wow, looks like some Dynon HDX displays possibly? Many fun times ahead. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Looks sweet! May I ask, what's the useful load of that one based on the current W&B? I'm always curious what the real world weights are of various CT models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill3558 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Empty weight 830. About 50 lbs heavier than my old old airplane. Avionics and fuel injection add weight. Can work around it with fuel management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CTLSi (I sold it) was 835... and I worked around the weight issue and never once had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new HDX has the bottom part of the bezel tilted up, it looks like these are the originals that came from the factory / not the HDX.
