1929 Arrow Aircraft & Motors Sport "Pursuit"
Donation: Terry Brandt
Engine: Kinner K5, 90 HP
The Sport was a favorite with "Sunday pilots" and was successful for pilot training as well. Its side-by-side cockpit seating appealed to many owners. The novel tapered wings used a cantilever design, eliminating the need for bracing wires and struts. The lack of struts between the wings unnerved enough buyers that cosmetic N-struts were installed to give pilots confidence in the structure.
