Flight Design unveils glider tug, hand controls
By Thomas A. Horne
Flight Design announced April 9 that a new variant of its CT line of
light sport aircraft will be a glider tug. Named the CTLS HL (for high
lift), the airplane is now in flight test and will have a turbocharged
Rotax 914 engine, feature a wing span 12 percent longer than that of
the standard model CT versions, have a larger horizontal stabilizer,
and will be offered in the United States as well as Europe. Floats
also can be fitted to the CTLS HL.
Turbocharging will make the CTLS HL especially appealing to those
operating out of high-altitude airports, Flight Design says. The price
is set at 92,612 Euros, or about $125,026.
