RE: Ready 2 - Jupiter
Good question, I've been thinking about the same thing myself. The ARC planes aren't currently imported into the US, so you won't get too much feedback here. Try RCMF in the UK, but from what I've read it's quite benign...

Hey guys !!! ARC is being imported in the US again. Hobby People is starting to get most of the stuff.
In answer to your question: The Jupiter is a great plane and not a lot different then the Ready. It is a tail drager so that part has to be learned, but that is just a mater of practice. It taxies very well.
Flying is a breeze and not a lot different then the Ready, I think just getting used to the profile is the biggest thing and thats no big deal. I've taken brand new people up on the Jupiter and had no problems, it's a fine plane.
I've been flying the ARC planes for years and Love them, the only one I don't care for is the Fournier RF4. Every one I had SNAPPED at low speeds and if you were low or just taking off and lost power you might as well forget about it, you won't save it.
I say go for it, ( the Jupiter ) you will ENJOY it. If you have any questions that I can answer -- just holler for ARC assistance -- I'm usually around .
ENJOY !!! RED

Just a point of interest when putting and ARC plane togeather. In the instructions it says to use sandpaper and buff the areas to be glued. I go a bit farther and use a hobby knife and SCORE the heck out of the glue areas. I use a crosshatch pattern. It gives a much better glue area and ends up a lot stronger. Of course it takes a bit longer but if they don't come apart in 5 or so years it must be worth it. (and I work them hard ) ENJOY !!! RED
