Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow

105k Hedero  3.9 years ago

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow, often known simply as the Avro Arrow, was a delta-winged interceptor aircraft designed and built by Avro Canada. Never fear Canadians of SimplePlanes, I am here to give you a build that represents your country! But without a doubt, this build was quite challenging. I'm really glad I did it though because I'm really happy with the result! By far the most challenging parts were the landing gear and the cockpit. However, I was told that the cockpit was done the "inefficient" way, so possibly, I did all that panelling for nothing. But whatever, it's good practice. The Arrow comes armed with two AIR-2 genie rockets. And, they're my first ever custom rockets! You might not be able to see them very easily though as they are hidden in the missile bay. This aircraft was requested by my good friend ACEPILOT109. Go check out his builds and his account. He's really cool. But anyways, I hope you enjoy my replication of the Avro Arrow

    Well the issue with this airplane is the speed really changes how easily it pitches. I had to make it pitch good at low speeds, yet not too much at high speeds. Very finicky.@KnightOfRen

    @Hedero
    It pulls up a little too easily, like without pulling up with right stick. But, my planes barely fly at all, so who am I to judge lol!
