I am very close to posting picks of my refurbished Arrow pattern plane with supertiger .61 rear exaust and retracts. Complete strip and redo. It probably took 3 months. the servo installation has been tough because of the design leaves very little room. A lot of room is taken by the pipe and fuse is narrow. I love the retracts though. I hope to fly it Saturday or Sunday.
I’m looking forward to seeing your Arrow pictures. The Tipo fuselage is very narrow and tall too! These babies were made for “warp speed” so they kept the frontal area small. Two servos will just barely fit side-by-side. The GP fiberglass fuselage does provide a little extra space compared to a built up balsa fuselage though. I guess you could call it a “tall body” (from top of the fuselage to the bottom) or as some people oddly say “wide body”. A wide body to me would be a fuselage that is short from top to bottom and wide in the direction of the wing span.
The new white paint job on the Tipo turned out super!
