Renegade Falcon LS


The Falcon LS is a two-seat, low wing, light sport aircraft originally produced by Corvus Aircraft in Hungary as the Corvus Phantom and imported into the US by T&T Aviation between 2008–2010 and by Renegade Light Sport 2010–present.
There is disagreement between Corvus Aircraft and Renegade Light Sport as to whether the design has been licensed or reverse engineered.

Design and development

On 6 October 2010 the Falcon LS became the first airplane to fly with the Lycoming IO-233-LSA engine. Originally T&T Aviation was selected by Lycoming to help develop their IO-233-LSA engine. When Renegade bought out T&T Aviation they continued the engine development partnership with Lycoming. The IO-233-LSA produces when equipped with a carburetor and a Champion electronic ignition system. Renegade installed a capacitor discharge ignition, fuel injection, and a "Vetterman" cross-flow exhaust system to achieve.
The Falcon LS features a wide cabin, a ballistic parachute, and wings that can be removed in 15 minutes for ground transport or storage. T&T Aviation demonstrated 1.5 revolution spins, loops, and barrel rolls in the Falcon LS. Renegade plans a bigger baggage compartment.
