Pegasus CT 2K Information
I got the CT in May 2003 and have flown it for about 200 hours including twice to France, once to Spain and once to Southern Ireland.
Its a brilliant aircraft!

Technical Specification
|
The CT2K is designed to meet the most exacting standards of 450kg BCAR Section S Microlight certification, one of the worlds most exacting requirements offering performance until now not possible in this category. CT2K was brought about as a result of a joint venture between Pegasus Aviation and Flight Design of Germany. Flight Design, an aircraft manufacturer of may years standing, also making hangliders and paragliders and associated parts, with a manufacturing plant in the Ukraine where CT2K is built. Pegasus holds the prestigious UK Civil Aviation Authority A1 Manufacturing approval. |

|
|
Powered by the word-renowned Rotax 912s four stroke engine, making flights deep into the European Continent a real possibility. With one person on board as much as 800 miles could be covered without refuelling. With this realisation CT2K can out perform many GA and kit aircraft. |
|
The level of comfort that the CT2K has to offer is second to none with two large gull wing doors and adjustable bucket seats, accommodating the tallest and broadest of pilot and passenger, with the added luxury of cockpit heating and ventilation. A very high level of flight instrumentation is by a Brauniger Flugelectronic liquid crystal display panel, together with two power sockets for Radio and GPS. The Floor of the cockpit accommodates two stowage lockers plus two chart pockets under the cockpit panel. For the overnight bags there are two additional lockers behind the seats in the main fuselage |

|
|
The construction of the CT2K is chiefly of carbon fibre, one of the strongest materials known to man, and used extensively for strength and safety in motor sport. With a high wing and excellent panoramic visibility, the view over the nose offers the perfect window. The wings can be removed in a short time for storage or transportation. CT2K can be trailed on a light trailer within legal limitations. |
