From their website: Price €102 988 = R967 057 (Rotax 914) + shipping and VAT. I get around R1 132 000 for one of these. Lovely, but ouch on the wallet!

Good morning All.

As far as i know Messrs Ashley Read and Henke Beyers from Springs visited the Arrow factory and also had discussions at Friedrickshaven during Aero 2010 regarding the machine. They are planning on importing a machine and also to possibly establish an agency.

Greetings

Greetings All,

There are not many Ferrari's driving around, so it is expected that there will also only be a few Arrow Copters to grace our skies.

Look at the new web site: www.arrow-copter.com for a more detailed introduction to this Gyro.

For more info regarding this experience, send an e-mail to: info @arrowcopter.co.za

Regards
Ashley V

The website lists the cruise speed as "approx 165 km/h" which is just over 100mph. That would be a realistic figure I would imagine.

Vne is 190 km/h or 118mph.

Realistically, all the gyro's fly at similar speeds. If you want something fast, then get a fixed wing, with a tenth of the fun factor. :)

I look forwad to seeing these beautiful machines flying around, what I do read into this is that it seems there will be two very well maintained and well kept ELA's possibly coming onto the market, :wink:

Good luck with your new machines and your new venture. This can only do good fr the Gyro community as a whole

You guys had me in stitches with this... :lol: :lol: :lol:

(Don't forget the Xenon and Magni M24 are also side by side!)

What an awesome looking machine the Arrow is though! Wow. I am excited at where Gyro's are going. Welcome and good luck with the venture to the local boys that have taken up the agency!
