Re: [Titanaircraft] Tornado 2 vs S

Hey Aric, I'm 5' 11" and 210 lbs and fit fine. Had a II with a 582 pushing it...I got good performance out of it, but with the cost of a 582 and doing overhauls every 300 hours I would spend a couple thou more and get at least a Jab 2200...will be much cheaper in the long run because the Titan is so much fun to fly you're likely to wear out a 582 every year....lol

Aric,

As far as 2-strokes go -- your cruise fuel economy would be better with any of the 4-stroke engines if that helps. We had a standard 2-seater with the 618, and it had fairly respectible performance, but wasn't nearly as much fun or practical to operate as it was when we replaced it with the Jabiru 2200. The 618 also burned slightly more fuel in a 90-minute flight than our Jabiru 3300.

Subject: [Titanaircraft] Tornado 2 vs S

Hello all,

I'm considering a Tornado with a rotax 582. Does anyone have any experience with both the 2 and S? I'm basically looking for realistic performance changes with the larger S, what size pilot can fit in the 2 vs the S (what that extra 2 inches really translates to)and general recommendations. I'm not going to look at a larger engine just yet but I would really appreciate any insight anyone can shed and if it's worth getting the S over the 2.

Cheers,

Aric
