Re: [Titanaircraft] Is the II for me?

Hey Brain,
 I see you are thinking about a Titan Tornado II .If you would like to see a SS there is one just 15 miles east of Newnan at Big T community here in Senoia. If anything you can see the advancements in the Tornado SS . So you can compair the different models. Just let me know if you would to see mine and we can work something out.

I've been reading this group's posts for the last 3 hours. Information overload! ;-)
I'm 5'10" and 220lbs, will I fit in the front of a standard Tornado II? Is that referred to the IID? My wife is 5'5"/130 and will be the occassional passenger. Gross weight looks good, jumper seat isn't ideal, but the trips we're looking at are under 11/2 hours.
Why the II, because they're more abundant and cheaper than the S/SS right now. Does anyone tie-down their Tornado? To keep inital costs down, I'm looking at tying down for the 1st 2 years (with engine and canopy covers). This is my 1st potential aircraft purchase. Trying to keep ownership costs reasonable and still enjoy flying (besides hang gliding).
Primary destination would be a 2,600ft grass strip/LZ where I hang glide. From what I've read, that's plenty of room at 1000MSL.
Other contender is the Kolb MKIII Extra. I like the cockpit layout better, but the speed and ruggedness of the Tornado are attractive.
Any Tornado owners in the Newnan, GA (South Atlanta) area? Advice? Comments?

take care,
Brian
