Hi Narasimha,

May I have your email address so I can send you something?

Thank You,
Roger Lee

You can have the best and greatest plane in the world, but if people won't buy it it is worthless. People are looking for a better price to get into flying not all the gadgets in the cockpit.

Have a nice day!

p.s.
I have 5 CTSW's at my field. Many like the SW better than the LS.

I had to send this in segments. the forum only let me send small pargraphs

The pilots with the extra money can order one with the extras. Build a plane for the old price and you will get you business back.
Many ***** dealers have quit ***** because they were priced too high like the CTLS and were not selling. There are about 40 planes setting at the distributor he can't sell. he will soon lower his price and CT will suffer more until he gets rid of all those planes. If people won't buy then dealers will go away. I know what the dealers are selling here and they aren't happy.
Get back to your roots and give the pilots a plane they can afford and they will start buying again and you all will make more money. Having a stripped down CTLS like you have advertised may not be enough. Take items out until the price hits $110,000 -$115,00 and you will sell many more planes. I would not have bought any plane for $150,000+.

Hi Narashima,

I just wanted to say hello. It has been a while. Hope you have been doing well?
I know sales are down quite a bit in the US with the CT. I have talked to many CT owners and prospective buyers. They all think the price has gone too high. You made your reputation on the CTSW for around $105,000 -$120,000 US. You sold lots of CT's for those prices. When the economy went bad and the prices went up you all suffered poor sales. You could get a lot of that back by going to a plane that is equal to the old price. People are not able to buy $150,000 SLSA here in the US. Yes, there are a few, but you will not sell as many as you did before. Most people would like to see the prices fall. They do not care if it has everything in it.

Hi Narasimha,

A question for you.
What are the regulations like in your country for me to fly my CT from Ireland to visit the CT factory next year. I was going to go to Germany first to visit Flight Design in Stuttgart and then on to the Ukraine. I flew all over western Europe this summer and was thinking about going in your direction next year. Is it a problem to get permission and do I need visas etc.?
