The TL Ultralight TL-96 Star is a two-seat ultralight aeroplane. The Czech company TL Ultralight
started in 1990 with the production of trikes. Their first ultralight was the TL-32 Typhon, of
which since 1991 over 300 were produced. This type of aircraft was followed by TL 132 Condor.
The TL-232 Condor Plus is a further development of the TL-132 Condor. In 1996, TL Ultralight
designed a complete new type: the TL-96 Star. The development took 2 years and for TL it meant
the transition to complete new materials and technology. The TL-96 Star is a high performance
glasscomposite aircraft with an empty weight of 265 kg. The cruise speed of the TL-96 is 200 km/hr.
TL Ultralight TL-96 Star OK-FUU-51 was photographed at the MLA airfield Stadskanaal in Vledderveen in the
Netherlands. This aircraft was based at that time at the Ultraleicht Flugplatz Dankern near Haren (Ems) in Germany.
