Iniziative Industriali Italiane Sky Arrow

Our (Owned and flown by my wife and I) lovely Sky Arrow is reluctantly up for sale after 20 years of ownership as we have a new aircraft and sadly do not live in the world of owning a fleet of aircraft. The Sky Arrow is the all carbon fibre version (some had aluminium wings), it feels reassuringly solidly constructed in my humble and completely unbiased opinion, 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, just like an F35 only 700 Kts slower, £100 million cheaper and has room for a passenger.…... It has adjustable rudder pedals and, despite the fighter jet like view, it is a very comfortable, relaxed and stable machine to fly. A proper gentlemans' flying carriage! Cruise is officially 101Kts, but to be honest 85-90 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 plus 30 minutes of reserve (Although I've not tested that bit...) GSKYT has 828Hrs on the airframe and about 300 hrs on the Rotax 912 (replaced on years due to the limitations at the time). It has just got a fresh ARC (September). The (lit) panel includes 8.33 and Mode S of course. There is a jack to allow you to listen to your music or the Archers on the intercom. It is always hangared (with covers, and of course carbon fibre doesn't rot….) at Defford / Croft Farm, North of Cheltenham where we operate off a grass strip. There is the possibility of continuing with the hangarage.
