The AVRO Arrow was a Canadian cold war interceptor design from the 1950s. This is my second recreation attempt. This time I did my best to build it to scale. The original had a 50 ft. wing span. 77 ft length, amd a wing area of 1200 ft2. I got all of those very close. The power to weight ratio is off, but I can live with that, I think. The flights are stable, but any harsh movement tears the wings off. Any suggestions to strengthen the structure to handle high speed manouvers is welcome.
