I admit I am not at all familiar with this glider and I couldn't really find much about it on the interwebs. I'm also not in the market. Just wondering why a seemingly modern two-seat motor glider would be selling (or not) at such a low price.

Agreed, we had a single seat MG on our field. If you thought a Libelle had thin cockpit walls, look at the TsT.
Not a slam, just an observation.

There was an attempt to get a club rolling at Vail, Colorado, using this glider. https://www.facebook.com/vailsoaringclub/ has some more ground and in-flight images. The website domain is unreachable.

anyone know someone who owns one? or has flow one recently.

Seems to only have been 10 or 20 ever made???

Looking at the Manuel - it look pretty good on paper. I am looking at - so any info would be helpful. no for racing but a nice family xc ship. (maybe)

Bob Carlton has a TsT-14 Bonus.
I've only had one flight with Bob.
It has a slightly different engine to the standard M, and climbs at nearly 1000'/min with two on board.
Don't thermal it too slow.

George Saunders bought one on Wings and Wheels 3 yrs ago, for about the same price this is selling for and moved it to CO...it's probably the same one.

The engine in the TsT-14 Bonus that belongs to Bob Carlton is more than "slightly different." The TsT-14 for sale has a Rotax piston engine and propeller. Bob's TsT-14 is powered by a PBS TJ-100 jet turbine, which is about as different as you can get without going to a "Mr. Fusion" reactor like on the ""Back to the Future DeLorean.
