- THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT JOHN AND HIS TITAN TORNADO, I FLY THE PLANE AND REVIEW ITS FLYING QUALITIES. WE DO STALLS AND SLOW FLIGHT. THE TORNADO IS AN EXPERIMENTAL HOME BUILT AIRPLANE THAT JOHN BUILT. HE INSTALLED A JABIRU ENGINE ON THE PLANE. JOHN LIVES IN AN AIRPARK. CALLED LEEWARD AIR RANCH, JOHN IS 88 YEARS OLD AND STILL FLYING.

You got my Subscription! Great channel
Well done, I felt as if I was along for the ride😄
Fantastic little plane. I always think of it as the ultralight Mooney! Nice video....thanks.
My first airplane was a Titan Tornado II-S. What a great design for building initial hours, experience and confidence. Central seat position is so instinctive during landing.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! What a fun airplane
My Dad featured on Airpark Livin yesterday with the Titan plane he built!! Lol
You have a very impressive father!
Nice video.
I enjoyed Titan Tornado 2 ownership for several years. Fast, comfortable (for the pilot), fantastic view, but very noisy. A lot of bang for buck.
Really considering one of these for my first airplane I thought I wanted a Chinook 2 place do some STOL flying but I like the all metal construction of the tornado which isn't common in these types. The fact that cruse over 100 mph is a plus which for me makes it inter-state flying that beats driving machine Ill be limited to light sport as I don't want to hassle with the FAA medical. I don't think find anything for in the 30k range used that is LS and has a cruse that high.
Great video!
I need to move!
I love the Titan and would love to see the Ultrabat comeback. I guess it left a bad taste in peoples mouths when it had that run a way. I would love to hear more about it from you.
The Titan is a wonderful flying plane.
The Ultrabat was an amazing airplane. I wish I owned one. George Markey passed away some time back. We kept in touch over the years and always planned a comeback. Unfortunately it never happened. There is one Ultrabat in the US and I don't know what happened to it..
So is this an lsa experamental where does this fit in
I don’t know the answer to that one
I'll be the jerk. Watching the video we learn the pilot has immense experience with airplanes and military helicopters, though he had ZERO time in this model and they didn't do a walk around or familiarization checklist before takeoff, at least it wasn't mentioned or recorded, just another undocumented fly by the seat of your pant's excursion. The pilot didn't recognize the trim settings and had to be reminded to raise the flaps as he was clearly having trouble climbing well after takeoff. Flying is a great pastime, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news, this is one of the reasons GA as a whole, but typically sport/light sport experimentals crash with so many fatalities. Some pilots just slack off and get lazy thinking they can easily rely on knowledge/experience to aviate, navigate and communicate themselves back to the ground when the unexpected happens. Nothing beats understanding your craft before takeoff. It isn't "sissyfied" to understand or inquire about lessor complex aircraft before opening the cabin door.
Chris, I would definitely agree with you that there are way too many general aviation and experimental Homebuilt accidents each year. One thing that I would suggest to everyone, if you don’t have experience in make and model airplane, seek out instruction, if it all possible, get training in the airplane before you fly it. As for single seat aircraft, this is more difficult. It’s a well known practice to seek dual in a similar type if possible before flying an unfamiliar aircraft. To reduce the risk in such situations, one can mitigate any additional factors that would apply additional risk. High winds, low ceilings, short unimproved runways, high traffic areas to name a few.
I also would suggest that everyone take time to research and read about general aviation and experimental aircraft accidents. Many things can learned from this. The knowledge of mistakes, helps others to prevent making similar mistakes.
I also agree there are accidents where individuals have overestimated their abilities, leading to preventable losses. Poor Aeronautical decision making is a major factor in many accidents!
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy other videos I have made.
