[Titanaircraft] Re: If you started new

Thanks for the reply and the correction, I realized the term I used was incorrect soon after I posted. What type of flying do you do and are there any characteristics of the airplane that surprised you?

I flew ultralights for about 13 years before moving on to experimentals, first a Starlight then a RANS S-14 and now my Tornado.  You can fly alongside most spam cans all day long in a Tornado and in many cases outrun them while burning a lot less fuel (depending on your powerplant). If you want to fly slow, drop the flaps about 15-20 degrees or stay with ultralights. Since you are familiar with flying 4 place aircraft, you will need to get used to the "coziness" of a Tornado cockpit.  You basically wear the airplane. Visibility is fantastic and you will most certainly experience the new feeling of flight you are looking for. Good luck!

I like to fly local, slow with great visibility. For those experienced ultralighters, what advice would you have if you were starting over. I am thinking about doing the quickbuild route with a rotax 912S and a BRS. What advice would you have?
