Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster OK, 2003. ISSN 1368-485X〕 The company started building hang gliders and ultralight aircraft in the 1980s and added paragliders around 1992.〔 The CT series first flew in March 1996 and was put into production in 1997. The company currently manufactures the aircraft line, which can be flown under microlight/ultralight regulations in several countries and under the Light-sport aircraft (LSA) rules in the US. Engineering design work is still performed in Germany, but much production and all assembly of the aircraft has been moved to Ukraine to lower production costs.〔Hunt, Adam: ''One of aviation’s best kept secrets - Flight Design CT2K – Flight report'', COPA Flight page C-1. Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, October 2004〕 In February 2011 the company announced that it is developing a four-seat design to be designated C4.
