Thread: Just bought a new CTSW!!!!

Hi i,m about to pick up a new ctsw in a few weeks, im currently having a few mods added ie, dynon180, garmin296. filser radio and transponder, slip clutch, leather seats etc, is there anything missing from the list above that is a must!!! any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. i should have my licence in the next week weather permitting, so i cant wait, by the way this will be a uk plane.

thanks neil

neil,

congrats,

the ctsw has a very high pilot enjoyment factor. it is a very capable airplane.

be very careful

Hi Neil,

We have a UK CT to the same spec - we have 150 hours on it and are very pleased. The only difference is we have a small analogue ASI in case the Dynon packs up.

Enjoy!

Hi Guys, thanks 4 the welcome, im bustin a gut to get this baby, can't wait!!! ASI sounds like a good back up plan if all else fails. I'll have to look n 2 it. thanks

You are getting ready to experience heaven on earth.

Hi,

Kev T here a UK SW owner. Interested to hear that your getting a Dynon and that MK has one. Without wanting to put my foot in it we all have the odd mod, but do we have a mod status for the Dynon in the UK now. Im interested in havign one fitted but have been sat back waiting to see what happens on the approval side.

Advice welcomed.

Kev

Hi Kev,

As far as i know it has been approved, i remember seeing it somewhere that it had got certification. also i know that oliver is bring one in from the manufacuters with the 180 fitted (price £56k). so i guess its ok, besides oliver didn't put me off the idea. the 180 is being fitted to mine next week. hopefully i'll have my ppl next week weather permitting. wish me luck, not that i believe in it!!! im also doing the purchase through denmark so it will take a little while till i get my hands on the machine. CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kev,

Yes the Dynon 180 is legal. We put it through the BMAA as a mod.
