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

YBR, Anyone?
@Hedero
Ah I see.
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!
Sure@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
BTW, can I give some constructive criticism?
Yeah@Rapidfire747w
@Hedero yah for a craft from the 1950's it was years ahead of it's time
Oh wow@Rapidfire747w
@Hedero the mk2 was in theory mach 3 capable this was built and almost flew before it was canceled
Well it was pretty successful at the time so it probably flew pretty decently.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
:(
Too bad. It must have flown REALLY well. The aerodynamics are amazing!
No it was decommisioned a while back.@KnightOfRen
Interesting design. Is this still used today?
Thank you!@Iamcat
Oh wow. That's pretty cool!@Woozyliana
@Hedero yes the province that I was born and raised in the local airport near my town has the avro arrow 2 being built
Yeah that's understandable. Sorry for the off-topic question but were you like born and raised in Canada?@Woozyliana
@Hedero I guess I just needed a break from sp to w on other projects and stuff but I'm glad I'm back
I'm glad you like it! What were you gone for?@Woozyliana
@hedero I love it thanks for making. God I have been gone from sp for a while
Oh that's cool!@DimitriIqbal91
Hey, I have a diecast of this plane
Sure thing! @mailgirl
Can I use it for making new painting?
