Highlights G-SKYT Our (Owned and flown by my wife and I) lovely Sky Arrow is reluctantly up for sale as we have a new aircraft and sadly do not live in the world of owning a fleet of aircraft. I've just reduced the price as circumstances have changed slightly and I'm keen to move on. I may be biased of course but, all told, I think it is a lot of flying pleasure for the money! The Sky Arrow is the factory-built all carbon fibre version (some had aluminium wings), in my humble and completely unbiased opinion it feels reassuringly solidly constructed and more like a decent car inside than most GA aircraft. It has a quite unrivalled view, the huge canopy and low sills/ armrests give an incredible all-round view – you have to crane your neck to see the wing behind you. The back seat is elevated so the view in the back is also excellent. Both seats have proper 5-point belts and dual-control side stick with electric trim on the right and throttle on the left. It has adjustable rudder pedals and, despite the fighter jet like cockpit, it is a very comfortable, relaxed and stable machine to fly. A proper gentleman's flying carriage! Cruise is officially 101Kts, but to be honest 90 kts seems more relaxed, there is around 250Kg of useful load and a surprising amount of luggage space behind the rear seat. 68 litres of UL91/Mogas gives you around 4.5 Hours range. The (lit) panel includes 8.33 and Mode S of course. There is a jack to allow you to listen to the Archers on the intercom. It is always hangared (at Defford / Croft Farm, North of Cheltenham and there is the possibility of continuing with the hangarage there) with covers, and of course carbon fibre doesn’t rot…. I realise this is quite a rare beast so give me a call with questions – I don’t bite !
