Anyone know of a source for plans for a model of the Avro CF-105 Arrow? First preference would be for a ducted fan version but a pusher or tractor prop would give me a start. TIA

One I have heard of is Bob Parkinson:

http://www.rcjets.com/arrow/index.htm

there was a company making a fibreglass model - called Fhyber or somehting....maybe Sean can remember......

Thanks, guys. The Parkinson model looks pretty good. Any idea how it flies?

I have plans for a .45 pusher Arrow. I drew them myself in cad and scratch built the prototype. I am selling the plans including all formers and rib drawings for $35.00 Canadian. E-mail me at [email protected] and I will send you some video clips of flight. MAD out

Hi Murray,

I knew Bob before you guys kidnapped him down to the States

He has been building and perfecting the Arrow for well over 15 years. All this time he has been producing the kits for it. He started out producing about 3 a week in the venings and weekends then had so much demand that he had to quit his full-time job and turn his hobby into a full-time job! Ruff isn't it! Everyone I know how has built one says it flys great. To get it that way he had to take a little bit of Poetic License with the dimensions but unless you get out the scale and a three view I think you would have trouble figuring out exactly where!

If you want an Arrow I would get one of his. I beleive he is still manufacturing both a Pusher and ducted fan version. may even have a turbine version by now!

Good luck!

Hi Murry,
I'm in the completion stage of B. Parkinson Arrow and it truly is a builders kit. I won't go into details here however it is looking like a the mean machine it is. I have done a series of pics as the construction progressed and if I can be of help to you please contact me.

Hi ,
Our Parkinson Arrow is a great flyer.
We also include a video showing it fly.
Bob was the first to get an rc Arrow flying and still is the best performer.
The only problem with our company is there is a waiting list about 3 months for the Arrow.
Best regards, BPFM

Hi Jim,
Yes I still make the Arrow.
Good to hear from you.
My wife (aurora) died from Cancer and It has taken me some time to get back.
Thanks for the support.

i have a set of arrow plans (fuse) 7 feet long. (wing) 5 feet wide. also comes with decals to complete plane. $50.00 us funds.[8D]

you mean fyber models. they arnt building it no more.

i have plans if your interested. these plans are designed to build a turbine avro arrow. it is 7 feet long by 5 feet in wingspan. they come with fuel proof decals too. just so you know, they are not full plans they are made to get the complete outline only. eg. inner and outer airfoils horizontal and vertical stab, same with the fuse. ill send you pics to get an idea.

Hi,

I knew Fyber Models producer of these kits, he is not making anymore of his Arrows anymore,Does any know where i can find one of his Arrow kits or even a built and flown model?, i really would like to have one of his Arrows as part of my DF jet fleet. FM Arrows were awsome models and they flew really good from what i remember hearing about them...I would appreciate any links or source to get one of his Arrow's.....

Cheers,
Sammy
