Published time to climb to 20,000 feet is 18 minutes, and cruise speeds are advertised to be 205 knots at 15,000 feet. Most A36 owners we talk with plan on 165 knots and 1,000 fpm climbs when lightly loaded. The B36TC, with its 200-pound gross weight increase, can carry roughly 900 pounds in the cabin with the tanks full.

A steam gauge airspeed indicator, Garmin G3X, autopilot, Garmin G5, transponder, fuel selector, accelerometer, and steam gauge altimeter were centered directly in front of me. The Texas winds were gusting anywhere from 15-25 knots, and like other aerobatic airplanes, the canopy can be easily blown off. Max Gross Weight: 2,200 lbs.

In order to be flown by a sport pilot, the resulting airplane must still meet the current regulations—1,320 pounds maximum gross weight, 120 knots max cruise speed, for example—but how it gets there is up to the builder. With a 41-knot stall speed, the common 1.3 Vso approach speed is 53 knots. gallons per hour.

With a maximum takeoff weight of 2,400 pounds and a maximum gross weight that ensures stability, this aircraft is robust enough to handle a variety of flying conditions. For instance, Knots 2U offers a Cessna 172 Cowl / Body Fairing Kit that improves aerodynamics and can increase cruise speed by 3-4 mph.

Flight Design rates the F2 with the same 16-knot demonstrated crosswind component as the previous CTs. In all new F2s, youll be facing a full Garmin G3X Touch EFIS, supported by a two-axis autopilot, G5 backup EFIS, transponder, com radio, audio panel and, in the demo airplane I flew, a Garmin GPS 175 IFR-approved navigator.
