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), it feels reassuringly solidly constructed and, in my humble and completely unbiased opinion, compares favourably with the dated and flimsy feel of so many spam cans.
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.
GSKYT has 828Hrs on the airframe and about 300 hrs on the Rotax 912 (replaced on years due to the limitations at the time).
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….
It has just completed a new annual.
I realise this is quite a rare beast so give me a call with questions – I don’t bite !
