It is broader and roomier than an Arrow. That interior space comes with a
penalty. I also do not believe an Arrow will get 140kts at 75%


The Arrow I we used to have in our club would always true out at 140kts
at 7000/8000 ft MSL. It had the 200hp IO-360. The 200hp Super Musketeer
the club had would true out at about 115kts TAS at the same altitude.
