General Information

Designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic the TL- 2000 STING CARBON is a luxurious and comfortable Ultralight Aircraft. Cruising at 250kms per hour the STING offers perfect 360 degree visibility, good stability and a generous luggage capacity. Built entirely of Carbon Fibre the Sting is stressed to +6/-4 g's and is fully certified by the Czech Civil Aviation Authorities.


The Sting can be easily transported by trailer with the wings and elevator removed in less than 10 minutes; the aircraft can avoid the high costs of hangerage with the owner storing the aircraft in a specially designed trailer.


The fuselage of the Sting is very aerodynamically shaped, the wing root is low allowing for easy access to the cockpit, which can be entered without standing on the seats.


The elevator is assembled very quickly by just one person and like all other command surfaces the moving parts are actuated by rigid fittings, once your Sting is manufactured there is very few adjustments required to the aircraft over it's life.


The wing of the Sting is equipped with a mono spar similar to sailplanes, this method allows for quick and accurate assembly of the aircraft, the overlapping spars are held in place within the central part of the fuselage where the members from each wing cross and they are held in place by two sturdy locking pins.


The nose gear is strong and sturdy offering excellent protection even in the worst landings, the steering is directly linked to the rudder pedals and the rear wheel have independently operated disk brakes.


The Sting has broad split flaps which make it possible to land the aircraft on the shortest fields. The Sting is normally equipped with either the Rotax 912 or 912S engines which make the aircraft ideal for long cross country flights enjoying the economy of 12 lph at 250 kmh IAS.
