I was at the Toledo Show yesterday and saw this beautiful Arrow. I thought you all might like to see it.

I couldn't tell without touching. Maybe some one knows who built it.

Built by Vince Pettke for Joe Hass, RCM contributor and President of the Skymasters Club. It is covered with iron on film.

Maybe one of them will see this and give you more info.

Has anyone heard about the flight characteristics on this plane? Is it coming out in kit anytime soon? Very nice looking plane and does addresss some of the problems of the Northstar.

The Arrow was flown at the Skymasters Midwest Floay Fly this last fall. It can be seen on the SKS video of the same event. The pilot, Greg Cardillo, said it flew very well. Laddie, the designer of the Arrow and the North Star, was also there with his "Spruce Goose" which also was featured on the SKS video...Seaplane
