Default RE: Laddie M's Arrow - 2nd Attempt

Today was the first time this spring that the wind and the temperature cooperated so that I could fly the glow Arrow (#4).

I am always reminded, after every flight of this airplane, why it continues to be not only my favorite seaplane, but my favorite sport plane. Just a joy to fly. Fast and smooth and jet like. Plenty of power with the 46AX on a 10x7 3B, and running down around 12000 max rpm, a very long endurance on only 8 oz of fuel. (I could probably get a half an hour if I pushed it.)

This design was worth every bit of the effort it took to get it right, and to learn how to fly it correctly.
