Default TF Piper Arrow GE kit - first flight


I today had my first flight with my kit. Very steady, no triming needed and very low stalling speed.

It came out 6,6 kgs. I used Robart pneumatic retracts, operational flaps and cockpit interior kit. On the nose I have an OS Fs-120E. No lead weight needed. Glassed and painted.

On a little hard landing nose gear broke. Particularly the steal axle that connects the strut with the arm. I would really prefer it to be as heavy duty as the wing gears where the strut is nested in the arm.

Attached you will find a photo of it.
