Welcome to the Arrow website...
Its been quite some time since this site has been updated so here is the latest info on the Arrows.
Date: 6-3-09
The order page has been suspended until I can work through some of the the major backlog. I made very few gliders all of last year and only a few more up to this date. Trying to get another business off the ground and running means very little time to spend on making gliders. But with this lousy economy the other business has slowed down which is fine for me. Now I get to build gliders at least 3 days a week.
The Arrow Sport project is dead. My Chinese manufacturer (two of them) could not give me a quality product so I dropped the project. This is really too bad because the the glider flew very well and would have made a great entry level plane for DLG.
So, for me its just not possible to make a living building gliders. I spend way to much time on all the little details like making sure the kevlar is not fuzzy on the edges, the tail feathers are foiled and the edges sealed, the wing leading edges are true to shape and polished. Kits like the Legend are truly ARF with almost no assembly left for the builder to finish. 35 years in the surfboard industry has had a lasting effect on me for putting out a quality product. Quality takes time and thats what I like and apparently its what most of you want as well.
I will continue building and designing as time permits.
Some day I will make that call or e-mail to you saying your name is up and its time. I hope your still interested when that happens.
Thanks,
Dave
