Dieseldan,
Tell me about the Arrow. I assume your talking about the Arrow Tiger. I just finished mine but need a new crank in the Irvine 53.Probably be next week.
I'll be using the 53 for starters and may go to the MVVS 49 with pipe. Wanted to start off mellow and this looks like a mellow plane.I really like the look of this plane.Sharp.
How does the Arrow handle in the air?? Did you put the throws as in the manual?? I balanced mine on a stand with slight nose down.Just guessing nose down like 20 degrees.I figured with the amount of fuel in the tank it would add quiet a bit of weight to the front.I don't make long flights.Not a whole lot since I filled the tank with water just to see how much it held and it was actually eleven and a half ounces..Yep,I dried the tank with alcohol afterwards.

Just wondering how you like it.
Glad to hear something positive about VMAR.
Thanx
Walt
