RE: Building The Arrow
Hi Johnkpap,</p>
I built 2 Arrows from scratch from the MAN plans back in the early '80s. Cut my own cores, but bought the fiberglass top decks from Indy R/C which was the MK importer. A friend built the MK Arrow kit. They are the same dimensionally. I powered mine with an unpumped OS 61VF with the 7D carb and the insert. The 7M carb also works very well. The tank placement does not require a pump and mine certainly never needed one. IF you use the pump and move the firewall back you will have problems fitting the rettract nosegear without cutting into the wing. Of course you can build it with fixed gear and will fly great, too! I modified the top aft deck of the fuselage to allow for longer pipe length as I wanted to run an 11x9 prop - a bit quieter. Actually a pretty easy build. Any questions, just post here!</p>
Enjoy,</p>
