Top Flite Piper Arrow II
Top Flite Piper Arrow II
The long-time favorite is now an easy-to-build giant!

For over 30 years, the Piper Arrow II's stability and easy operation have made it a popular choice as a trainer, commercial transport or personal aircraft. Now, Top Flite is making it a popular choice for intermediates and advanced R/C pilots, with a kit Gold Edition-engineered for building ease and scale-like looks!

  • Airframe features CAD-designed wood parts for perfect first-time fits and an ABS cowl, tail cone and clear canopy for no-shape ease.

  • Balsa sheeting on the fuselage, wings and tail help reproduce the original's true contours and form a perfect surface for covering.

  • Includes formed aluminum landing gear and a generous hardware package.

  • Easy to "detail out" with Top Flite's optional Cockpit Kit or Robart's custom-made pneumatic retracts.

  • Smooth and stable, with a full-flying stabilizer for powerful elevator control and externally mounted servos for aileron and flap surfaces.

Piper Arrow II cockpit kit
With this cockpit kit, the Piper Arrow II can look as realistic inside as it does outside. Lightweight styrene plastic parts assemble with CA and finish with enamel paints, creating a cabin with side and rear panels, seats, an instrument panel and control yokes. Materials for fabricating seatbelts are included, as are pins for duplicating knobs and buttons and decals for realistic radios and gauges. Takes only a few hours to complete, whether it's added to a completed model or installed during construction.
An externally mounted servo near each aileron and flap provide short, direct linkages and swift, powerful response.

Piper Arrow II full flying stabilizer
Instead of strip elevators, the Piper Arrow II features the original's full flying stabilizer. A ball bearing pivot mechanism provides smooth, easy movement — corrugations on the stab and other control surfaces add scale looks with no work.
Balsa sheeting covers the entire airframe, providing an ideal surface for finishing.
