Excellent work! Please keep it up. Do you know where on the airframe the manufacturer's data-plate with the Werknummer can be found?
ReplyDeleteHi Robert, - I don't know the location of the plate but I have notice that the number appears on some of the rotormasts. Cheers
DeleteI haven't heard anything new from Arrow Copters over the last year. I'm considering buying an AC20 and if the aircraft is no longer being produced I would like to know. Is there a special version made for Australia?
ReplyDeleteHi Rod - I think you should email the company for the latest news. 2015 was a difficult year but the company re-structured and as far as I know is open for new business.
DeleteGood list, I have just put a picture of Flickr of '001' at an exhibition in Lucerne Sept 2010. Any idea on its real identity please?

Pieter Kruger here. South African proud owner of both werk 006 and 008. Nice to have this register. I would love flying other countries and should anyone come to South Africa I can arrange flying in our beautiful flying friendly country.
