Range is listed as 2000 km. If this is at cruising speed of 207 km/h, then the plane must fly for 9.6 hours.
Cruising speed is at 75% power, or 75 horsepower. 9.6 hours like this is 724 hp-hours. If that flight burns 33 gallons of gasoline, it's 21.9 hp-hours/gallon.
That's not right. Gasoline engines deliver about 11 hp-hours/gallon. Something is off by a factor of 2.

this link Pilot Operating Handbookshould be deleted because it controversery company's information. We are the representatives and this information is not needed in wikipedia store. - Flyingved ( talk) 11:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
The article is currently name Flight Design CTSW, but describes the whole CT family for aircraft. I propose that it be moved to Flight Design CT (currently a redirect to this article) as the original aircraft in the series and the name of the whole range, with redirects to point to this article from all the variant names. - Ahunt ( talk) 23:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
This is a very low price and it is quoted in euros, unusual for an American company especially as other prices are in dollars, could we have a reference please? 2.123.152.202 ( talk) 15:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
"The CTSW is so efficient that it needs to have the pitch of the propeller reduced significantly to stay within the 120-knot (222 km/h) maximum speed of the American Light-sport Aircraft (LSA) rules; in other countries, the CTSW has a higher cruising speed."
There are two US CTSW owners trying to validate the accuracy of this statement and we cannot find any authoritative reference, other than the quoted article, that it is true. There is no indication in the Pilot Operating Handbook, the Aircraft Maintenance Manual or the Propeller Manual that the prop must be readjusted for the US market. This is an issue because the article implies that changing the prop pitch might cause the aircraft to be non-compliant with LSA aircraft requirements. US pilots often vary the pitch of the prop to optimize cruise, climb or altitude performance.
What is the best approach for resolving this? Grumpyoldgeek ( talk) 21:34, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
