I would really appreciate all the information you could supply me with. How does it fly? Is the seating room the same as the Titan 11? Do you know of one in Canada?

Well just looking over the specs on the website it doesn't look like it's too much like the tornado at all.... I.e. looks like it's considerably slower and lighter.

I think this is the first time I've even heard of it ;). So speaking of that, if you find yourself having a lot of trouble locating information about it, owner/operators, etc., treat that as a trouble sign. Also see about support, does the manufacturer answer the phone/email, do they have parts readily available, etc.
Check for transition training availability, etc.

You probably know the drill on all this, so I'm just sayin'......

Finally, why not just get a titan II? Last I checked, it looked like the resale on the older II's was pretty bad, so you could almost certainly get a well made/maintained copy for a pretty decent price...
