[Titanaircraft] Re: Titan II within 200 air miles of Havana, IL (9I0)

Lucien,

I agree with the "big-n-tall" comment on the SS and considering usefull load and size it probably would be the best choice for me.

The luring thing about the S model is that there are several on Barnstormers in the $20K - $30K range and the SS models are at least another $10K. Operating costs would be higher also. I don't know if I would be interested in building a new one either. The economy as it is has brought the average prices of used planes down quite a bit but I am not noticing any markdown on new kit prices.

Where is your plane hangared? Having both a S and SS model to compare would be great.

Ron

The back seat, ironically, I find to be a little more comfortable if you can believe it. The SS is definitely the "big-n-tall" pilot's titan.
