fly_tornado Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 They aren't everyone's cup of tea, but as a first plane the Tornado with a rebuilt rotax engine is a better option than refurbishing a drifter or thruster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Isaac Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Whats the stall speed with flap FT and what are the normal and short field approach speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 tornado 1 is 30mph, II is 45 circuit speed is around the 60-65mph mark. There is some good documentation of flight characteristics on page 4 http://www.titanaircraft.com/manuals/tornado/aircraft_checklist.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Isaac Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 FT, Good document except there appears to be a typo on the last page, how can Vso (43mph) be a higher speed than Vs1 (38mph)? Vso is the stall speed in the landing config (typically full flap), Vs1 is typically the stall speed in a clean configuration at 1G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 one of the joys of buying a kit from a manufacturer that's still in business, that can be fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
