T-51 kit sets are fabricated by Titan Aircraft Company at
South Austinburg, Ohio in the United States and are being
assembled and flown in several countries where they are
popular with pilots and particularly with spectators at
airshows. The aircraft has a wide range of handling
abilities, from a stall speed of only 39 mph (63 km/h) to
high performance up to 190 mph (310 km/h) and agility
afforded by a +6g / -4g load limit capability.
Titan has a long history with building a variety of aircraft
to be flown under ultralight regulations, now including
the FAA Light-sport Aircraft category. Pilots choose whether
they want to buy a kitset which is fully complete and ready
to assemble or a basic kitset to which they add their own
choices of propellers, engines, and instruments. Two
versions are available: the homebuilt with retractable gear
which must be flown by pilots with retractable gear
experience and the amateur built fixed-landing-gear version
which qualifies for the 1,200 lb (540 kg) and under weight
category in New Zealand and Australia and can be flown by
a sport pilot in the US.
The most frequently applied power plant is the Rotax
912ULS/3, which produces 100 hp (75 kW), but the Rotax 914
UL3, which produces 115 hp (86 kW), is also fitted by owners
wanting even higher performance. Some builders also
consider Mazda Rotary engines due to their power-to-weight
ratios and their dependability. The current engine of choice
for the T-51 is the Suzuki H engine, specifically the H25A
2.5L V6, which generates 141 hp (105 kW).
The construction-to-flying time for the T-51 is about 600
hours, and jigs or complicated tools are not required.
