Anyone ever flown ARVO?
Yes, she's a little poppet. My current favourite machine for an hour's circuits and bumps, even more than the Tiger (though only because I'm rather tall, stickup a long way, and thereby find the Tiger a bit draughty and cold.)
No flaps, very simple, very light, sideslips beautifully, touchdown speeds so low that even that funny up-and-down bit at the threshold end of 25 at Sywell becomes a little hill rather than a big bump - just fly gently up this side, then down the other, all as you round out... Any ex air cadet of a certain age would, I think, find the handling and overall experience strangely similar to the old Slings T-31 glider, except with a vastly more sensitive rudder power due to the slipstream.
Doesn't have the take-off acceleration of the more common 150 hp versions, of course, and like all low-powered machines there's quite a difference in take off run when two-up, but it all happens at such low speeds that you don't use up a lot of room even if it seems to take quite a long time.
Some time fairly soon she will have a fuselage re-cover and come out yellow and silver, though I think the current blue is rather nice as well.
