My neighbor had this in his attic and I am curious if anyone has seen it before. I am going to revive it and would like to know if there are any plans available as the inner wing panel will need to be rebuilt. It has a Enya 15 that needs a needle valve and looks to be brand new.
Thanks,
Jim
I built one, with an Enya 15 if I remember correctly. It could do a decent pattern in good weather. It didn't have much leeway though. The big elevator on the back could act as an airbrake if you got in trouble- especially bad up high, like the overhead eights. The elevator could get blanked by the wind and the plane would quit responding. Instinct called for more elevator, but I crashed at the NATS straight in from the overhead eights. It was a bit windy, it stopped turning. I reacted with more elevator and it stopped flying and went straight in. The plane survived, but the motor was toast.
If you want an improved ARROW, one of the builders did a nice job of updating it with a longer span wing, twin booms for the stabilator, and better balance of everything. It does look like the next gen Fierce Arrow and flies much better.
My memory's been screwed up a bit but search for fierce arrow or just arrow. Somebody else will probably come along with the right name, builder, etc.
