The J170 was developed with the flying schools in hotter
climates in mind. It has the longer wings of the J230 and a
bigger elevator. The longer wings allow it to climb faster
in the hot conditions. The longer wings also provide more
float on landing which is helpful when learning to land. The
dual controls and adjustable rudder pedals (optional) are
avaiable in this model. The 100 knot TAS cruise speed is
still easily achievable at 2850 rpm.
