Pay tribute to a classic of general aviation with the updated E-flite Cherokee 1.3m. This scale replica celebrates the legendary PA-28, known for its simple design and smooth handling, making it a perfect choice for intermediate to experienced pilots. This upgraded version features an optimised power system with a high-power brushless motor and a 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC, compatible with both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries.
The airframe is rich with scale details, including moulded-in panel lines and rivets, corrugated control surfaces, and factory-installed LED navigation and landing lights. Functional features include operational slotted flaps for shorter takeoffs and improved slow-flight handling, plus a shock-absorbing nose strut with an improved steering design and oversized wheels for operating from a variety of surfaces. The Bind-N-Fly Basic version includes a receiver that provides real-time telemetry data along with the benefits of AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies.
Assembly is fast and requires no glue, with plug-in wing panels featuring convenient hands-free servo connections. It all adds up to a fantastic scale flying experience, from smooth touch-and-goes to graceful aerobatics.
The Cherokee 1.3m's Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite ESC transmits real-time motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more to compatible receivers and Spektrum AirWare™ transmitters, including popular models like DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6 to 20, and iX12 to 20. Gain valuable insights, optimise performance, and fly with confidence thanks to this advanced telemetry system.
The Cherokee 1.3m meticulously captures the full-scale aircraft with an array of realistic details. From moulded panel lines and rivets to corrugated control surfaces, it caters to both sport and scale enthusiasts. The clear cabin windows showcase interior features like seatbacks and a pilot figure, while the instrument panel now boasts a protective plastic cover to prevent "gatoring." Completing the package is a fresh trim scheme that blends classic aesthetics with a modern touch.
The Cherokee 1.3m's lightweight yet robust airframe utilises composite-reinforced, moulded EPO. This construction allows for intricate details and shapes, replicating the full-scale aircraft with stunning accuracy. Not only does the EPO material ensure easy maintenance, but it also contributes to the model's excellent flight characteristics, ultimately delivering an exceptional flying experience.
The Cherokee 1.3m boasts a glue-free final assembly, getting you airborne faster than a battery can charge! Its convenient size allows for easy transport fully assembled. But for even greater travel and storage flexibility, the plug-in wing panels feature a hands-free servo and LED connection system, eliminating pesky wire fumbling. This innovative design ensures a smooth build process and makes taking your miniature Cherokee on adventures a breeze.
The Cherokee 1.3m captures the iconic shape of its full-scale counterpart with an accurate scale outline and constant chord wing. This wing, equipped with operational slotted flaps, unlocks impressive slow-flight handling and short takeoffs and landings.For precise pitch control, the unique full-flying stabilator now boasts an updated mounting system for enhanced precision and control. The model effortlessly handles diverse terrains, from paved surfaces to dirt and even some grass, thanks to the shock-absorbing nose strut (featuring an improved design for easier maintenance) and oversized wheels.
The Cherokee 1.3m packs a punch with its upgraded 70-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite ESC and specially-tuned motor. This potent combo delivers ample thrust on a 3S LiPo battery, perfect for relaxed flying. Upgrade to a 4S battery for unleashing exhilarating speed and unlimited vertical performance — all without modifications! And to top it off, the optimised smaller diameter propeller provides better ground clearance, longer flight times, and enhanced performance. This power system upgrade ensures you can experience the flight style you desire, from soaring gracefully to defying gravity.
