Wicked!

Hiya all,

Well I finally got a weather slot today and was able to complete the Arrow Conversion. I knew as soon as I got in it I would love this particular beast, lovely purple felt, storm watch and a moving map amongst other things meant it felt much more like the extra money was justified!

I found that there were no hassles with pre flight actions right up until take off, as its pretty much the same as the warrior, which was good. Take off and both the sound and acceleration certainly showed it was an Arrow and not a Warrior!

Have to say it was a really enjoyable flight, and once I'd got used to the wobbly prop I was able to relax a little, I found the gear no great shakes and the only thing that gave me a bit of hassle was the increased rate of yaw induced by the extra horse.

Cheers for all the info given people, it made things that little bit easier.

Low Ratio,

I too was taught to only fully fine the prop on final, the way I was taught was instead of doing normal CRAP checks, do a Reds, Blues, Greens RAP check, at which point the prop gets fine, is this the normal way of doing thing? I'd be interested to know.

I'm off to smile some more!
Rusty.
