The thing that I really did not like about the CTLS was that I could not really “feel” my roll inputs. It felt like I was pushing against springs or something in the aileron linkage. This was apparent post-flight on the ground as well. I recall thinking at the time, that a 172 or Cherokee felt nicer to fly.
I have looked over the RV12 and acknowledge Vans aircrafts reputation for excellent flying characteristics, but I am not particularly comfortable with the fuel cell in the cockpit, and do not care for the limited baggage allowance.
The Rans S-19 is of interest to me, but does not have the baggage capacity of the Kitfox. One question I have about Kitfox baggage: With a couple of FAA standard people and full fuel in a nominal Super Sport (LSA gross weight limits), can I expect to be able to actually load 150 lbs in baggage and still be within CG limits?
