The Cherokee ARF is a great step up from your basic trainer — and one of the few realistic sport-
scale alternatives for low-wing flight training. Its fast 4-6 hour assembly and steady performance
provide the right foundation for success, complemented by quality wood and fiberglass construction
plus the freedom to use glow or electric power.

Separate standard servos
control the pre-hinged ailerons
and flaps. Flap operation
requires a 5-channel radio
system; you can use your
4-channel radio to fly without
working flaps. Hardware for both
set-ups is provided.
You'll enjoy positive handling
on grass or pavement from
the Cherokee's tricycle
landing gear, a configuration
familiar to anyone who's
mastered a typical 4-channel
R/C trainer.
The fiberglass wheel pants
and cowl arrive painted to
match the trim scheme. Each
wheel pant attaches to the
landing gear with two screws
and a nylon strap.
The Cherokee ARF goes
together in just a few hours. Its
factory-built main structures are
covered in MonoKote film, and
the fiberglass cowl and wheel
pants are painted to match.
Pre-hinged control surfaces
save you even more time!
The cockpit area – with
installed pilot figure –
doubles as a hatch that
removes for easy access to
batteries for an out-runner
brushless motor system. The
fuselage offers generous
space for radio gear, allowing
you to use standard-sized
servos and receivers.
No glue is used for tail
assembly. The horizontal and
vertical stabilizers install
quickly with screws, which
align them automatically –
and allow you to remove the
surfaces easily for transport if
desired.
The Cherokee excels with 2- or
4-stroke glow or brushless
electric power. Its detailed,
photo-illustrated assembly
manual takes you step-by-step
through installation of either
power choice.
