The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was a delta winged interceptor designed and built by Avro Canada as the culmination of a design study that began in 1953. The Arrow is considered to have been an advanced technical and aerodynamic achievement for the Canadian aviation industry. The CF-105 (Mark 2) held the promise of near-Mach 2 speeds at altitudes of 50,000 feet (15,000 m) and was intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force's primary interceptor in the 1960s and beyond.
Not long after the 1958 start of its flight test program, the development of the Arrow (including its Orenda Iroquois jet engines) was abruptly halted before the project review had taken place, sparking a long and bitter political debate The controversy engendered by the cancellation and subsequent destruction of the aircraft in production remains a topic for debate among historians, political observers and industry pundits. "This action effectively put Avro out of business and its highly skilled engineering and production personnel scattered . Many went to either NASA to work on the Space Shuttle or Over seas to work on the Concorde.
This is my attempt of designing , building and flying a pusher type jet . This is the 5th prototype . The first was attacked by a tree, which took me a week and some vey strong winds to recover it. The second version was just a mistake it lasted 4 seconds.The motor mount blewup . The third and fourth just arn't worth talking about This version has a stonger motor mount and I decided to try a KF style wing. I increased the rudder and elevon area from the previous attemps. I am currently flying it with a old JR radio with no programming like rates etc. The plans that are included in this article are pdf and are tiled.
Here are all the parts cut out ready for assembly
I removed the paper from the motor mount support and where it was bening installed on the fuse. This gave it
a lot of support. The plastic motor mount was from a large jug and cut to the same dimensions as the swappable
Here the wing is complete and nose and fuse are assembled. I used bbq skewers to connect the fuse to the wing in two areas.
Here is the wing assembly and the fuse. Electronics and power are now the next stage
Pictures shows where I put skewer holes at back . They can be put where ever you feel would work
This how I installed the servo's on the wing .This allows the wing assembly to come completely off the fuse to allow access to the electronics
Ready to go adding some colour
all most complete with colour but it needs to go fly
I put the 2200 battery on the bottom plate just behind the nose assembly. This gives me a nice cg
Using
9 grams servos
30 amp esc
9x6 prop
2200mah battery
2215-15 emax size motor
These Plans are not perfect but should get you real close
Plans availble here in Tiled format TILED PLANS
SORRY ABOUT THE VIDEO NOT VERY GOOD ( It flies and loves going fast prertty scary for a newbie, so I don't know how much longer it will last )
