RE: Do all trainers of a type fly the same?
In general yes, but there are serious duds out there. I encountered something calleda Paragon -- it certainly wasn't. It looked like a standard 40/46 trainer, but it was an abominable pig to fly. truly & remarkeably hatefull as a trainer. After extensive modification it eventually was used successfully to train a single student, then was hung up in the student's garage, never to see the sky again -- we all hope.
