sorry. I didn't mean an arrow is unsafe or likely to break up in flight. What I meant is that due to the extra cost of the gear and prop, you often find that older ones for sale often have several 'things' that need doing that have been put off, due to cost.
The one I mentioned was typical. Nice paint and interior, but some corrosion (i though that was an issue in the accident), auto gear drop didnt work and the prop leaked.
Julian. like most people I almost forgot about those. But would a comanche not be more practical. I know they are a bit old now, but thought the have a good turn of speed for the fuel burn. ?
