The E-flite Cherokee 1.3m BNF Basic Electric Airplane is a scale tribute of the popular PA-28 Cherokee. With a simple design and smooth handling it is a great choice as the first low wing trainer or a proper aerobatic performer. E-flite was able to recreate a lot of scale details including panel lines, rivets, corrugated control surfaces, a pilot figure and more. The functional features include factory-installed LED lights, a shock-absorbing nose strut and large wheels all add to the flight experience.
Plug-in wing panels are used with a convenient hands-free servo connection system and include operational slotted flaps for shorter take offs and landings. No glue is required for assembly of the lightweight, carbon-fiber reinforced EPO airframe. An extremely large top hatch offers easy access to the electronics and the battery mounting area with plenty of space to fit a 3S or 4S 2200–3200mAh battery, while the high-power brushless motor and 50-amp ESC deliver better-than-scale power. It all adds up to a scale marvel that delivers incredible handling and fantastic flight performance for shooting smooth touch and goes, rock-solid low and high speed cruising, and even for performing aerobatics—all in a single model that you’ll be proud to own.
