Information:

You can download a PDF file of the copies of the old instructions included in the original kit.  This will give you an idea of the construction of the Cherokee.  Click HERE to download these PDFs. In PAGE 1, The piece soldered to the Landing Gear is a 3/16″ piece of music wire 7″ long. It is added for more strength.

New features in the updated kit include:

1. CNC wood and foam cutting
2. New wing dihedral bracing
3. Modified cabin construction
4. The wings are cut for the Leading Edge Extensions (LEX), instead of being built-up add-ons. That will simplify things a lot.
5. Fuse has slots for tabs in formers, simplifying construction, and adding strength.
6. Ailerons / Flaps, Elevator, and Rudder are included in foam pars so they can be sheeted as a complete unit, and separated after sheeting.
7. Pre-cut fuse sides, along with many other parts.
8. The original wing joining is included in the plans. Feel free to change it over to wing tube construction if desired. 

Plans and foam parts will be available separately for scratch builders.

Short kit also includes:

2 – 3/16″ Main Wire Landing Gear (No wood blocks)

1 – 3/16″ Node Gear and Mount
