Poison Arrow

Description[]

Poison Arrow is a highly experimental prop aircraft with a reverse propeller. The casting is given the rather generic name of Air Plane in various promotional material.

The casting was modified in 2014, with the rear landing gear design changed. The casting was modified again in 2020, losing all of its landing gear in exchange for three supports where the landing gear originally was; the main body of the casting was also apparently changed.

A number of early releases feature a humorous message on the wing:

PLEASE READ
This is a high thrust zone.
Prop suction may pull you
towards the propeller if you
stand here. Being sucked into
a 12-foot diameter propeller
driven by 5000 HP could ruin
your entire day. Even your
entire week. Unless you are
a glutton for punishment, we
recommend standing over there

2007 card[]

From the back of the 2007 card:

FUN FACTS #75 of 180!

Did you know that on the 2005 First Editions™ version of the Poison Arrow^® there was a fake warning on the plane which could not read by the naked eye that said: "This is a high thrust zone. Prop suction may pull you towards the propeller if you stand here. Being sucked into a 12-foot diameter propeller driven by 5000 HP could ruin your entire day. Even your entire week. Unless you are a glutton for punishment, we recommended standing over there"?
