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
