E-flite Cherokee 1.3m AS3X SAFE Select BNF Basic

AS3X™ stabilization

The Spektrum receiver is equipped with AS3X technology, which helps stabilize the model in flight. The receiver contains a three-axis MEMS gyro and an accelerometer, and thanks to electronic stabilization , control of the model is simplified , for example in windy weather. The model reacts similarly to a much larger model and its flight is calm without maintaining its full controllability. AS3X brings more confidence in driving.

SAFE Select™ technology for beginners

Thanks to the SAFE Select technology used, the model can be driven even by a less experienced pilot . The SAFE system prevents oversteer when cornering and also limits climbs and descents. Simply releasing the controller's control sticks will return the model to level flight. These functions will be especially appreciated by novice pilots who are not yet fully confident in driving the models.

As the name SAFE Select itself suggests, this is an optional feature - it's up to you whether you want to use or disable SAFE technology. The pairing method determines whether the SAFE function should be turned on or off. It is also possible to turn off or turn on the SAFE function and the flight mode using a free channel of the transmitter.

Advantages of the SAFE Select™ function:

• 
  
• It limits the maximum tilts of the model and thus prevents the model from going into a corkscrew.
  
• Automatically puts the model into horizontal flight when the transmitter control sticks are released
  
• Using a free channel, the SAFE system can be turned off or on during flight.
  

Mockup details of the model

The Cherokee is made of durable molded EPO foam. So it has accurate shapes, finished coloring, detailed representation of the surface according to the real aircraft such as cover panels, riveting, moldings on the cover, etc. The cabin is equipped with transparent glazing, the seats, the pilot figure and the instrument panel contribute to the authentic appearance of the model. The model is painted to resemble the pilot's John Bradley PA-28 (N3713K).

Maximum functionality

The chalk is equipped with flaps that provide better controllability at low speeds, shorter take-offs and slower landings. The hooded solid chassis and large wheels allow starting from a wide range of surfaces. Installed LED lighting, including navigation lights on the wing trailing arches, rear beacon on the rudder and landing lights, add to the realism and authenticity.

Compatible with LiPol battery 11.1 or 14.8 V

The model is driven by a powerful drive unit with an AC motor and a 50A AC regulator. For power, you can choose an 11.1 V 2200-3200mAh LiPol battery or, for higher performance, a 4-cell battery without any modifications.

Durable and solid construction

The Cherokee is made of stiff and extremely light EPO material, which is reinforced with carbon strength elements. This material makes it possible to create even small details of the model's surface, at a very low weight of the model. The end result is an excellent looking model that offers a great flying experience.

Easy to assemble

The Cherokee 1.3m is designed so that no glue is required for completion, so you can assemble it in less time than it takes to charge the battery. It's also designed for easy transport and storage with a split wing that features a convenient integrated connector system for connecting servo cables and an LED connection system so you don't have to touch wires or connectors. You simply slide the wing onto the wing coupler and secure it with four screws.

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

For pairing the BNF version model, we recommend modern SPEKTRUM programmable transmitters:

• 
  
• 6 Channel DX Spektrum DX6e DSMX Series Transmitter with Telemetry, 250 Models in Memory .
  
• 6-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX6 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 8-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

Recommended batteries

To power the model, we recommend a LiPol drive battery with 3 or 4 cells (11.1 V, 14.8 V).

• 
  
• For general flying LiPo battery Spektrum SMART 11.1 V 2200 mAh 30C IC3 with technology Smart .
  
• For longer flights LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 3200mAh 30C IC3.
  
• For maximum performance and acrobatics LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 14.8V 2200mAh 50C IC3 with Smart technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC models of airplanes or helicopters, or to charge your batteries from other manufacturers, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S155 with one output 1x 55W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100 with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2100 with one output 2x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) and Modelcraft cutting knife with A6 pad for cutting will certainly come in handy for assembly.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
