Sky Arrow videos

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

How did you fix the nose gear problems.
The factory said the best bet was to let them see it and overhaul it to new specs. For 200 Euros is seemed reasonable.

Probably around $700 altogether with shipping both ways. Plus I put on a new front tire and balanced the wheel. No shimmies since then.

Here's a link to a video of the wear that led to the shimmy:

BTW, the factory advises me they've upgraded the damper washer (the yellow rubbery thing that wore away) and they'll send me the revised model.

Nice video's. Any tips on the Sky Arrow, and how it fly's? I'm looking at getting checked out in one in a few weeks. I've got some time in the Remos G3 and CTSW, so I figured I'd change it up a little bit. Looks like a blast to fly.
