Default RE: ARC Ready2 v Tutor40 v BH SuperAir

All,

Just an update on the Ready2 as she went out for her maiden flight this weekend.

My son was really nervous at first (as to be expected with a 7 year old after his first crash), and we kept him on the buddy box for the day, just to allow him to get used to the plane and get back into it again.

The plane flies like a dream - found the roll rate to be really good - about 1 per second with the throws slightly more than the recommended, although there's still more travel.

After the first tank, my son just wouldn't get back into it - bit like Top Gun !!, and he was getting cold, so we both ran around the field to warm up, and from then on he was fine - landings were excellent, although he did clip this mound of earth one side of our field as he had to land width ways which is narrower anyway, and he was cutting it fine, and just clipped, sending into a ditch the other side - broken prop that's all, so proves the tuffness.

Anyway, thanks for all your help, and this plane feels like a good step up from a Tutor 40 - takes off from the ground in much less space with the same engine, flies much quicker, and can out manouver the Tutor 40 - Highly recommended !!


Cheers
