    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Have the right side windows glued in, painted the firewall with flat black paint and painted the landing struts with gloss white paint. Schools out and we will be watching our grandsons starting next week for a couple of days each week so production will suffer. Thinking about the next build...

    More trim work, same N number as the original except for the last letter, changed kilo to papa. The N number was previously used on a PA-22 and currently de-registered.

    I have a Roto 85 in the Champ, six or seven flights no problem, have not ran the 85 for the Cherokee yet. Here's the first run on the Champ 85. Swinging a 26 x 8 Falcon prop. I bought a second one so that should say something? I would recommend installing this catch can as the crankcase...

    Ordered graphics from Aerographics, they make logos for full scale planes and can reduce the size for our models. The white Piper logo will go on behind the rear window and the chrome Cherokee 140 logo will go on the cowl after painting, might put it on before the clear coat. If you are doing...

    Yes I am putting in a Roto 85 FS in the plane. Can't speak to the discrepancies but the plans are a good starting point and use the plans as reference for your build. To be honest I would not have attempted this build without these plans. Weight? I hope it as light as possible, will let you...

    Looking at the graphics today and found this photo on Airliners.net. Red scheme just like the light blue. Pretty sure I'm going with missile red trim.
