| Documented highlights | The Arrow's stabilator and landing-gear systemJust Flight's Arrow manual describes an all-moving stabilator with an anti-servo/trim tab, plus spring-centred rudder trim. It also covers the automatic landing-gear extension system fitted to the represented aircraft. The stabilator arrangement is a useful distinction from an aircraft with a fixed tailplane and separate elevator. Turbo Arrow flight controlsThe Turbo Arrow manual describes the stabilator's anti-servo/trim tab and the spring-centred rudder-trim mechanism. These controls remain separate from the turbocharged engine's management. The dedicated manual is useful when comparing the Turbo Arrow with both the normally aspirated Arrow and fixed-gear members of the PA-28 family. | A detailed documentation summary has not been added yet. | A detailed documentation summary has not been added yet. |
