I have never heard of the "Carenado" varient of the Arrow. I would doubt it is elegible according to the rules because the Piper Arrow is not the direct descendent of a Piper that flew in the 1950's. It is a descendent (with retractable wheels) of the Cherokee line that flew in in the early 1960's.
But I flew a Piper today that is entirely suitable and a nice-flying plane: the Piper Comanche 250. It is a four-place retractable that was being sold and was flying in 1958. It cruises at about 165 knots and lands nicely at 60-65 knots. You can get copies at avsim.com if they are fully operational. I have a set of realistic FD's for it.
The Comanche line was a separate startup before the Cherokee line. In the 1950's there was the Cub, the Pacer, the Tri-Pacer, the Comanche (180 and 250) and the twin-engine Apache. An Apache would be fine for this GAAR too. Bill Lyons made nice model of the Apache. Its also on avsim.com.

Hi, Can someone please advise if the above plane is suitable for this years GAAR? The Piper Arrow is a variant of the Piper PA-28 'Cherokee' family of aircraft. Unfortunately, the first of the PA-28's did not fly until 1960 and as such is ineligible for the GAAR. |
