Re: Resurrect Arrow 1/8 scale

I want the droop on the outboard panel...its a very noticable characteristic of the Arrow.
Regarding the inboard panel...from all the photos I have looked at in my Arrow Scrapbook, the inboard panel is NOT flush with the fuse for the first few feet on the full scale...then it comes up to mate flush. A scale panel that is relatively flat will blend properly IMHO
This is the way it was and should be on a "scale model"

What would you think about the inboard panel. The scale panel is relatively flat so it blends into the fuselage top surface.
At the side of the fuselage, an NACA airfoil would not blend in very well to the top fuselage profile.

I just spoke with Ian (2thelmt). He leans towards your thoughts as well, but I'll wait for him to make up his mind tomorrow.
