From the bottom of a trench
I suppose one way to be sure with this is to find out the average time to either first solo or ppl(h) on all types
My school uses 300C's average to first solo is about 15 hours.( all students have been up to lesson 14 and done 5 eol's) Worst was 22 best 6. Health warning here the guy with 22 was flying 1 hour a fortnight, the guy with 5 had 400 fixed wing and was naturally very good.
Personally as an instructor/examiner the 300 allows a greater margin or error.
I will keep my head down now
