You are correct. The Arrow in fact had a long list of problems: it was extremely difficult to fly, it guzzled fuel so had limited range, it was fast as hell but had very limited maneuverability, etc. I know someone that put a lot of research into the decision, and as massive a fan of the Arrow that he was, he came to the conclusion that its cancellation was the right call in the end.
