FastEddieB Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 As you guys know, I'm in the process of an annual condition inspection on my Sky Arrow. Today Karen and I gutted the interior. I always thought it was way cool the way the sidestick articulates in such a way as to control both the ailerons and elevator via pushrods: I think its pretty cool - half way between Rube Goldberg and elegant. In any case, all those rods are one of the reasons I think my Sky Arrow, in spite of looking light, comes in at the heavy end of LSA's at 867 lbs empty weight. Rudder is cable, BTW.

Roger Lee Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hi Eddie, You have more metal through out too. Every little part adds up. It's a nice looking plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Eddie, sometimes having a little extra metal is a good thing. Looks like the Sky Arow is well built. There is one of these at Jackson, Mich. airport and the owner loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
