From their website: Price €102 988 = R967 057 (Rotax 914) + shipping and VAT. I get around R1 132 000 for one of these. Lovely, but ouch on the wallet!

Good morning All.
As far as i know Messrs Ashley Read and Henke Beyers from Springs visited the Arrow factory and also had discussions at Friedrickshaven during Aero 2010 regarding the machine. They are planning on importing a machine and also to possibly establish an agency.
Greetings

Greetings All,
There are not many Ferrari's driving around, so it is expected that there will also only be a few Arrow Copters to grace our skies.
Look at the new web site:
www.arrow-copter.com for a more detailed introduction to this Gyro.
For more info regarding this experience, send an e-mail to: info @arrowcopter.co.za
Regards

What a beautiful machine. And cruise at 120mph.

The website lists the cruise speed as "approx 165 km/h" which is just over 100mph. That would be a realistic figure I would imagine.
Vne is 190 km/h or 118mph.
Realistically, all the gyro's fly at similar speeds. If you want something fast, then get a fixed wing, with a tenth of the fun factor.

I look forwad to seeing these beautiful machines flying around, what I do read into this is that it seems there will be two very well maintained and well kept ELA's possibly coming onto the market,
Good luck with your new machines and your new venture. This can only do good fr the Gyro community as a whole

You guys had me in stitches with this...
(Don't forget the Xenon and Magni M24 are also side by side!)
What an awesome looking machine the Arrow is though! Wow. I am excited at where Gyro's are going. Welcome and good luck with the venture to the local boys that have taken up the agency!

Hi JetRanger,
The Arrow copter look like a awesome Gyro! ( Ek persoonlik verkies "side by side", ja jy is reg die Xenon is ook n baie nice side by side gyro maar die Mangi M24 tel nog nie in SA vir side by side ni, hy vlieg dan nog ni! Of hoe?

Pieter, I think it's been a 'figment of the imagination'
