RE: ARC Ready2 v Tutor40 v BH SuperAir
Well, the only other trainer I've flown is the Tutor 40, and it rolls much quicker than that. The Ready2 rolls fast enough that you can get away without using elevator, although you obviously lose a bit of height - couldn't do that with the Tutor40. She definitely flies fast than the Tutor too - all in all it seems a good step up from the Tutor, and will be a good bridge between that a low wing for him.
I was surprised just how slow it would fly too - you would think that with that weight it wouldn't glide to well, but it seems to.
If I were to be super critical, the only thing I would change would be the undercarriage, for something a bit wider - it's just a bit too twitchy on the ground, and although our field is fairly smooth for grass, it's still a bit more like a tail dragger in the way that it doesn't track so well, and you obviously have to turn fairly slowly at speed to avoid it tipping.
