Product information

PIPER CHEROKEE

A near scale version of this nice little aircraft that was released from the Piper aircraft company in the early 1960s as a more affordable form of transport when compared to the Comanche.
The model now closely mimics the lines of the full size including the very deep wing dihedral and leading edge wing/fuselage fairings incorporated on the full size aircraft.

The kit comprises; all laser pre-cut balsa & ply parts (includes all of the sheeting), pre-bent U/C, wheels, comprehensive hardware fittings pack, Vac formed canopy, cowl & wingtips.
Flying; It's a nippy little aircraft, flies very scale like and allows for good stable flying for a low wing model.
