Flight Design CTLS - Brother's First Flight in my CTLS
I took my brother on his first flight in my CTLS. The airspace was very crowded along the Mississippi River that day, but the weather was great! We managed to maneuver through the traffic. It was a good flight. He thought it was EXCELLENT!

This was Lauren, my daughter-in-law's, first flight in a small plane. It was a pretty bumpy flight, but she did great. We had to go around on our final approach due to airplane on the runway.

That's a sweet setup!
Christian, you're famous! :D
Try it without brakes.
Really enjoy your videos - just bought a CTLS. What iPad mount are you using? Wayne
Hello Wayne. I'm glad you are enjoying our videos. Thanks for watching and commenting. The iPad mount is a clamshell type that clamps to the aft protruding edge of the glareshield. You can see the mount if you watch the video titled, "Flight Design CTLS - Southern Illinois for Lunch". You will see it at the 0:43 mark. I ordered it online from eBay or Amazon (don't remember which). Congratulations on your purchase of the CTLS. You will absolutely LOVE it!!
Get an E-prop. It transforms the airplane.
I have been thinking about getting one. So, you are obviously happy with it? What do you notice the most about the performance?
@@ctcrosswindadventures5165 Much smoother and easier on the engine because the prop is so light and well balanced. Better climb and cruise performance. I have the larger Tundra gear but still cruise at 120 knots at 5300 rpm.
glad to see a new video from you! also appreciated you showing all/most of the runup to compare how you do it. amazingly smooth conditions (okay, until 25:00) 7:00 noticed you were off before the 1000ft markers, always nice. 9:20 "do you ever do less [rpm]?" lol 17:00 you can take a tracklog and upload it to flysto, after a few minutes it'll show you traffic in the area at the time. always interesting to review when you have traffic like this.
Hi Ted. Thanks for watching and commenting. I would like to make more videos, but my real job is a bit too time consuming right now. Still finding some time to fly though!
@@ctcrosswindadventures5165 for sure! and no shade on video production, it's just nice to see your name and face and plane pop up in the feeds.
I have been burning MOGAS in my Cessna 170B for four-years. Fortunately my source of MOGAS (ethanol free) is ten-minutes from the airport. It has been running very smooth and doesn't have the lead buildup on the plugs. I have been re-fueling by lifting the plastic five-gallon cans onto the wing. I ordered the pump you use and happy with the results. And most important, MOGAS is half the cost of AVGAS. Thank you
Thanks for commenting on the video. I am jealous of your nearby access to MOGAS. I bought 2 more cans just to reduce my trips to the gas station. Glad the pump is working for you. I love using mine. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
lose the background music and you'll have yourself some good videos.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!
Hey Zeke, your “Bird Cam” video is literally a black screen for 10 minutes, you really think you should be talking?
@@MidwestHillbilly not sure what you are talking about. I dont see a "bird cam" video. it was a plane flying video .
@@zekeharley awh you deleted your bird cam video? :( I just wanted to see the birds! I guess it's for the best since you couldn't figure out how a video works.
@@MidwestHillbilly it’s a plane video you clown, there is no bird cam. What are you talking about. It’s about a flight to dauphin island there are no birds.😂
OMG!!! there's two of you?
You better believe it!
Realy nice Video, I enjoy it a lot. Best greeting from Bavaria(south germany)
Thank you for commenting. I am glad you enjoyed the video! I will be posting a flight with my brother soon.
Love the video. Well done. Wish I had video of my adventures. But it’s only in my head. I’ll be watching.
Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying our videos! It has been a while since I posted one but should be making some recordings again soon. The editing process can take a while, for me anyway. Thanks again.
Just found your channel. I own a 2013 CTLSi N838Q. Love the plane and I fly it a lot. I’ll watch your videos.
Thank you! We love our CTLS, too!
You constantly explaining what is happening has to be the best feeling for a passenger, so they always know whats going on. Very well done!
Thank you very much for your nice compliment and thank you for watching our videos!
What moving map set up have you fitted i.e. clamp details and is that an ipad mini?
Yes, it is an iPad mini on a mount which is clamped to the aft protruding edge of the glareshield. It is a generic tablet clamp from eBay, I think. I use ForeFlight combined with a Sentry ADSB receiver which gives me traffic and weather radar. You can see the clamp a little better in another video to Southern Illinois for lunch. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Im from Dauphin Island! Thanks for flying in! If you ever get the chance to come back, come land here at night! With the runway extending out into the water and the runway lights on, it feels like youre landing on an aircraft carrier
Hi! I can totally see that! It already kind of felt that way landing in the daylight on that narrow strip of land! We loved the trip. Thanks for commenting!
I agree! I used to land at Dauphin island back in early 2000’s. Loved that runway. And it is a trip at night!
Brah - u need to appologize to her ASAP! She tollerates you and this expensive HOBBY... so therefore she is 100% always correct on everything, without hesitation! No worries, surely you must have bumped your head really bad gettting into the cockpit before the flight and YT completely understands your confusion right now!!! It's all good Brah! Just remember, Happy Wife, Happy Life!
Has she already gotten her pilot's license? 🤓
yeah - what a pitiful fob representative...at least the tacos looked truly amazing! TY
When you upgrade let me know. I’d be interested. I think you’re a smart guy. You have a low stall speed, a brs, can’t get lost…it is a fantastic time builder if not more and a money saver.
The FBO guy at Green Glaize may have been grumpy because you walked in filming. To some people, asking before being filmed is the etiquette. Not being snarky, I think you guys are great and really likeable. Just summizing that to some people, they may want to be asked before being filmed. Especially in the Mid West! 😄
That is a REALLY good point! I should have said something right up front. For some reason I didn't expect anyone to be inside the building that day. We are still learning how to do this. Thanks for the great point about filming etiquette!
What is the purpose of flaps in the negative position?
Hello! I have been following your flights, they are very good, you have gained a subscriber to your RUclips channel, this ultralight is very good to fly, one question is where can I download the pilot's manual for this ultralight? Good flights and good landings! Thanks!
I am glad you are enjoying my videos. Thanks for subscribing to my channel. The CTLS aircraft is really fun to fly. To find the POH try searching for Flight Design CTLS Aircraft Operating Instruction (AOI).
@@ctcrosswindadventures5165 thanks,friend!
butter landing💯
nice landing!
Das ist ja super! Das ist eine tolle Idee. Da kannst gleich mal selber über den großen Teich fliegen und in Kaufbeuren landen. Ich freue mich für dich. Liebe Grüße Peter ❤
Loved this. Great views. Your daughter-in-law was having a great time.
Thanks. It was a beautiful day! Glad you enjoyed it!
I fly this plane too😀 It’s very nice! But for the life of me I cannot activate the squelch, no matter how I turn, press and turn the knob on the comm module…
Why did you try to turn the runway lights on in broad daylight lol also please tell me what you use to have your radio audio in your videos
Hi. Thanks for watching the video. Some airports use CTAF to activate all lights including the PAPIs. I was turning on the PAPIs. For radio audio I use an audio adapter for my GoPro Hero 8 video camera. You can pick them up from Sporty's for about $100. It's called a GoPro HERO 5 to 12 Audio Recorder Headset Adapter - Fixed Wing. Here is a link to the page: www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/11806
Oh ok that makes sense. Oh nice I just flew to sportys the other day, my next trip over there I will pick one up or go ahead and order online thank you!!
I just got checked out in a ctls. I love it
Hi I enjoy your videos very much. Can you share what’s the UL of your CTLS? Is it enough to fly with your wife with full fuel? I am considering a CTLSi myself.
@5:28 someone really wanted the runway lights
I thought about the tera pump. I ended up getting Tuff Jugs based on the recs on ctflier. ruclips.net/video/OD647FFidrc/видео.html
very cool, and sounds like a great place to airbnb as you said. 2:30 ha, interesting to see techniques to reduce draft. 13:05 wow, what a cool view. that runway is amazing.
I've never landed Copalis Beach 🙂 but this final approach and landing was really fun. Flying out to the island was also a pretty cool experience.
The flight design’s sound like RC planes
Yes a little bit. The Rotax engine operates at 5000+ RPM. On my videos the sound is muted a little by the airstream and probably my camera enclosure for the wing mount.
@@ctcrosswindadventures5165 yea, very nice planes tho. I flew one just one time with the owner. Fun to fly
Ah!, what we won't do to feed our habit
I’ve flown multiple CTLS’s, one on floats. My take is that they need the 914 or even a 915 once the new rules are put in place. Yes, the 912’s are dependable and sip fuel making for great range, but I feel they are underpowered. I’ve yet had one reach 120kts in level flight except one day that was 24 degrees at altitude with the pitot freezing up. Good thing the I-Pad was still working.
I agree the new rules will change everything if approved, even as written. Hopefully the changes will get tweaked a bit more in a positive way. It will be interesting to see any opposing comments or rationale. I do enjoy the economy of the 912 in my CTLS and I have seen 118-120 knots CAS at altitude. However, if the new rules go through, I will likely be looking to upgrade for speed and more room & baggage. We should see a manufacturing boom from this and an opportunity to replace a very old and aging group of training aircraft.
Looks like light sport is going to look totally different if the proposed rules go into law.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see the extent of the changes in the proposal. I know Dan Johnson has been talking about most of these but I never thought this much would be included in the actual proposal. I think it will be great for general aviation if most of it gets through the review process.
@ctcrosswindadventures5165 yeah! I don't see why most will not make it through. It is a win for everyone and the only thing there seems to be confusion about is the night flying and whether a medical is required. Page 121
@ctcrosswindadventures5165 I guess there are those who think light sport should stay the way it is, but the rule will bring us on par with new rules in brazill and Europe. I think most if not all will make it through, because manufacturers have been waiting for this for a long time and the only ones that will hate it will be private pilots who feel like the new rules put us in par with them. Lol
@@mauriceevans6546 Actually, there is already very little difference between sport and private in terms of required actual piloting skills. Just a few limitations for Sport, primarily passengers, altitude, and night operations. So, night operations would be the only skill difference, assuming the sport pilot has endorsements for controlled airspace.
@@ctcrosswindadventures5165 Really great video. I'm an aspiring pilot myself, but I'm sort of waiting for MOSAIC to kick in. The funny thing about the light sport certificate is there very few if any rentable LSA's, so while it was supposed to be a cheaper path to general aviation it ended up almost requiring ownership as a barrier to entry. I suspect the lack of demand is mostly due to the MGTOW. But the medical standards for private pilot are a quite archaic; I'll just say I'm a mid-thirties guy with no history of crime or drug abuse, straight A's in college, cognitively healthy, no prescription medications, never been to the emergency room, fair eyesight but thinking about getting glasses. However an earlier misdiagnosis and a certain rare but essentially benign condition makes it expensive or perhaps impossible for me to get a 3rd class medical. Really happy to read the NPRM, and looking forward to training in a C172.
So, You two going to do Oshkosh this year??
You are so blessed to have a wife that shares your excitement for travel in that plane. I am looking forward to stretching out across the country when I get my plane. Wife, not so much! Lol
My wife used to fly with me everywhere until we had kids and things changed. 😢 It definitely aids in airplane utility and use when spouses want to go too.
Did you do light sport or private?
Sport pilot
Nice I’m taking my sport pilot check ride next Thursday
Excellent! Good luck!
@@ctcrosswindadventures5165 thank you
Should have extended your downwind
Yes! I actually did extend my downwind...just not quite enough!
@blainepetsupplies - Oh cool, an armchair pilot expert.
Ha she said I’m ready to start heading back all of a sudden lol
Awesome Video. Was beautiful seeing you flying with your daughter. great fun
You guys in my back yard.. (bullshoals) 🖐️
Hello Sir, I hope you are keeping well. Thank you for the vidéo work! I’ve been following your channel a while and I do enjoy your editing as well as your thorough procedural flying abilities. Very well done! I live in Switzerland and am also flying the CTLS - what an incredible machine, am enjoying every second of it an would not trade it for anything else now that I have tasted it 😉 Wanted to ask if you could give me any indication about where you procured the central dashboard mount for your nav iPad mini? To date, I still couldn’t find anything suitable for mine. It looks like what you have there might be the solution but I don’t seem to find any such thing in Europe. Any indication about where you were able to source it from would be really helpful to me. Many thanks in advance! Leaving my perso email address for you here, in case this is easier to communicate further. Hope to hear from you and happy flights! Greetings from Switzerland 😎 Alain quiquereza@bluewin.ch
Hello Alain, so happy to hear you are enjoying my videos. Thank you for the nice compliments. Like you, we are enjoying every flight in our CTLS. It is indeed an incredible machine. The iPad mount I use can be found here: www.arkon.com/product/EXBK131-exercise-bike-tablet-clamp.html You can probably find it on amazon as well. I clamp in onto the aft protruding edge of the glareshield. Also, I had to rotate the cradle 90 degrees to eliminate overlapping my primary GPS on the panel. So it actually grips the iPad on the left and right sides. If you watch the video "...Southern Illinois for Lunch" you can see the mount from the side view. I also use a Sentry ADS-B receiver connected to the iPad via Wi-Fi. Let me know if you are able to procure the mount. Do you plan to make any GoPro videos? Let me know as well. Thanks again for watching. Richard
2:00 nice takeoff briefing. I wonder if she thought you were joking when you said "rocket parachute". 10:00 Lauren seemed to warm up to the flying here.
Best flyin ive seen in awhile! 👏👏👏
Thank You!
Good go around decision. Thanks for the vid. KAPF
Thank you!
How you you have your iPad mounted to the mushroom? I have the same panel layout, and am currently using a suction cup mount to the left door.
