Re: [Titanaircraft] Re: Titan II w/ Jab 3300?

Brian,

The 150 VNE wing and mounts are very stout, especially, the 23-1/2-footer. As the builder, you can set the gross as whatever you want. You could say it was 2000 lbs., but that isn't realistic or believable. We set our gross at 1320 lbs. You just do a little math to figure out the reduction of G-loading. However, with the design of the wing, you would induce so much drag, it would be unlikely you could impose any damaging force on the wing if flying less than 100 MPH, even if you tried. I know Jim Covington has done some testing in this regard.

Because you can run a 3-blade prop on the Jabiru 3300 and Rotax 912-series, the Jabiru 2200 carries the most prop noise, followed by the 912-series because of the loud exhaust combined with the prop noise, then the Jabiru 3300. None of the Jabiru engines themselves can be heard over the prop, unless you remove the muffler, but you don't want to do that anyway.

Is there a structural diffence between the 2D and 2S? How did they raise gross to 1140lbs and still maintain +6/-4 Gs? I'm looking at cruise in the 8,000ft range, so the 23' wings would be fine. Do the engine mounts have to be enhanced on a 2D to support a 3300?

Maybe a little off-track, but how loud is a 2200/3300 compared to the 912?

thanks
Brian

It will cruise nicely beyond 14,500' (I can't say how much beyond here) with the 23-1/2 wing, but the 26' is nicer for climbing way up high if you do it regularly when loaded to gross.
