Today we take the PIPER ARROW under MODIFICATION.
This aircraft has much more potential than it was ever given, especially given the fact that the PIPER DAKOTA, a FIXED GEAR brother of the ARROW had 35 horsepower more than the Arrow. This made us think. Should a reiteration be made of the Piper Arrow AND the Piper Dakota in both a normally aspirated and TURBONORMALIZED version? Should NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT give both models a new chance? We gave a DAKOTA a CONVERSION in yesterdays video on the channel.
Why not give the Arrow the same opportunity. It is a marvel of a complex trainer but also a travel machine, just like the Dakota.
A solution to speed up the PRODUCTION LINE would be
making 2 different wingsets:
A wingset with a capacity of 50 USG per side and another one with 60 USG per side. Depending on what the buyer considers best for his/her operational needs, either wingset is fitted to the aircraft.
What is your opinion? What do you think?
Are both DAKOTA and ARROW due for a all new productrion makeover? We believe both models have a place in the market. One is fixed gear, the other is retractable gear. Give both a larger fuel capacity, turbonormalizing option, a three blade Hartzell Scimitar propeller (Optional: MT Propeller 4 blade scimitar composite - optionally REVERSIBLE - propeller).
Make the cabin more comfortable and add in a 4 place 115cu.ft. Oxygen system to it. Add in the option for TKS-FIKI system on wings, prop, elevator and vertical tail.
Syncrhonize the gear extension and retraction and time it down to 4-5 seconds (similar to the Beechcraft Bonanza series).
