There are 8 of us in the Southern California area flying them with the Titan SE. It is the best flying jet I have ever flown! It is as fast as ANY sport jet out there and with the unique flap and substantial airfoil make it a pleasure to land. With the gear and flaps down I come over the threshold with 35% power, then cut the power and the plane decelerates NOW and settles right in on the runway. It is as close to landing a prop plane as I've ever had in a jet.

It is a tough airframe too. It is up to the task for snaps, spins, hard G's and everything I've thrown at it. As far as knife edge, again I've never flown a jet that did it better. I've got an 8411 on the rudder and about 1 1/4" of travel. I typically do aerobatics and knife edge passes at about 140 and it will climb on KE easily at that speed or higher. I've got about 3% same direction aileron mix and no elevator and when I give rudder I get pure yaw.

I get 8-9 minute flights with the wing tank and the Titan and about 5 minutes of smoke with 48oz of superdri. BTW, that is with the throttle stick pushed forward...30% power...PALeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese...it is a JET!
