| There is only 1 specially priced kits
left from the original production kit in the mid 80's that have hand cut
formers and foam parts which have been sitting around so they have some
dirt and slight damage to the outer cores, but the foam wing parts are fine, ready to build. These are part of the
inventory we received when we bought the rights to the kits. Check the list
below to see kit contents, and click on the pictures on the right to take o look
at them. They
contain all foam parts, all hand cut formers, plans, and pre-bent landing gear,
and other parts shown at right. The PDF of the limited instructions
can be downloaded below. The rolled plans are included. As you can see from the above JPG
of the plans, it is a very scale Cherokee. The only
non-scale item is the stab is conventional stab and elevator,
instead of full moving stab. This could be modified by the
creative modeler. It is a 140, so it is fixed landing gear.
Retracts would be easy to install to model a newer version.
There are also a limited number of former sets with plans
available for you foam cutters out there. Foam wing and stab
shapes can be copied from the plans, and the Fin shapes will be
included.
Buy plans and former set $90us
including US shipping. Contact us for out of country shipping.
Clear windshiled is availble for $30US including
shipping.
You can download a PDF file of the copies of the old
instructions included in the original kit. There is also a new
manual that is presently under construction. This will be plenty
of information to build your Cherokee.

Scans of old
instructions
Thanks to MIKE GEISER we now have the missing first page from
the original instructions. Download it
here.
Mike also sent me scans of some of the missing parts. A
.PDF of the parts (wing tip parts and ribs for angled LE center
of wing) will be shipped with short kit.
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.
Here is a picture of
it ready to be wrapped with wire and soldered.
