GREAT PLANES CHEROKEE .40-/.56 EP ARF

Your First Scale Model!

Introduced first thing on Friday morning, April 4, 2008 at the Weak Signals RC Expo in Toledo, OH, the new Cherokee from Great Planes is a great looking low wing scale model of Piper's very popular 4-place light plane. This promises to be a great second model for new pilots who have mastered their 4-channel high wing trainer, and should be popular with more experienced pilots looking for a fun to fly scale model that won't break the bank. We are very excited by this new release, and look forward to bringing you a full review as soon as possible. Below is the full Great Planes press release with all the current info for this new model.

GREAT PLANES CHEROKEE .40-/.56 EP ARF

The perfect plane for “moving up” in style! After mastering a 4-channel trainer, a modeler is ready to move up to the next level, and the Cherokee ARF offers the ideal changeover. Pilots will find that the Cherokee is perfectly sized for great performance and easy transportation. It virtually excels with 2- or 4-stroke glow engine and also offers a great transition into brushless electric power. Separate standard servos control the pre-hinged ailerons and flaps. Flap operation requires 5-channels; a 4-channel radio can be used to fly without working flaps. Hardware for both is included. The horizontal and vertical stabilizers install quickly with screws, which align them automatically (no measuring or glue required!) and allow for easy removal of the surfaces for transport if desired.

• Just 4-6 hours of final assembly are required to get this ARF flight-ready.
• Using a 5-channel radio, the Cherokee can be flown with optional flaps that add realism and allow the plane to come in super-slow for landings.
• The entire top canopy attaches and removes with 2 screws for easy access to on-board gear and the LiPo flight pack (if flying with brushless power).
