I'm not sure that advantage is worth the extra cost in maintenance and insurance. Is the Arrow any faster than the Archer? Yes, as you would expect given the reduced drag from the gear. However, I don't believe the speed advantage is any more than 15kts or so, which isn't much for the increase in insurance and maintenance costs. You can get the same performance out of fixed-gear, fixed pitch prop airplanes like the Tiger. JKG
