The CTSW also features new taller sport seats with additional padding. A map pocket and door holders have been added for storage and convenience. The instrument panel has been completely redesigned with three separate compartment areas, for flight instruments, radio stack and engine instruments. For 2006 a three axis trim system is standard which allows the pilot to trim the pitch, roll and yaw, enabling trim of the craft on long cross country flights for changing fuel load, cross wind conditions, and throttle settings.
The landing gear has been strengthened, and more vertical stabilizer area has been added to give better directional stability. The anti servo tab is now full span to give a little more stick feed back.
The CTSW comes standard with the Rotax 912 S 100 HP 4 cylinder aircraft engine. This gives craft a 1,000 mile range with the fuel on board when throttled back to 90 knots.
Controls are standard three axis controls with dual sticks and rudder pedals. The main difference that a conventional pilot will notice are that the design is very clean, is lighter with less mass, and low drag. Normally 5 to 7 hours of training on the plane will be required for most conventional pilots to feel comfortable.
