Both the Arrow and the Cardinal...........and for that matter the Sierra,
were produced for ONE reason only. 200HP, retractable gear for commercial
students.

They are TRAINERS for the GI Bill guys of the 60's and 70's. All these
airplanes fly like trucks, have no control harmony to speak of, are not
particularly nice looking and mostly worn out.

The day the GI Bill ran out, which was in about 1978, true support for these
airplanes ran out as well.

If you like low performance and the feel of a truck...........any of the
three will suit you.
