GLUE-FREE QUICK ASSEMBLY

The Hall Cherokee—a beloved 1956 Stan Hall design and one of the most popular home-built gliders in American aviation history, has been faithfully reproduced by HobbyKing as a stunning 1700mm wingspan scale model.

Now, the Cherokee returns to an all-new V2, engineered for pilots who demand more power, greater durability, and even sleeker aerodynamics.

Retractable Propeller Arm

V2 introduces a retractable propeller arm that deploys its 6x4 propeller only when power is needed. When retracted, it sits flush with the airframe to dramatically reduce drag.

More Thrust, Faster Climbs

The 6x4 propeller delivers more thrust than V1’s EDF for quicker climbs.

Reinforced Wings & Landing Protection

V2’s wings are structurally reinforced for added rigidity and durability. Molded plastic protects critical landing contact points, helping keep your Cherokee pristine through countless touch-and-goes.

Key Product Features

Built to make every trip to the field more rewarding

Cherokee V2 blends clean soaring efficiency, powered versatility and practical airframe protection without losing the character of the original sailplane.

Fully flushed and smooth

The Cherokee features a retractable propeller arm that only deploys when you need power. When retracted, it sits flush with the airframe, significantly reducing air resistance.

Unlimited Aerobatic

Not just a glider. The Cherokee is fun to fly. From gentle glides to power loops and inverted flight. With the thrust of the propeller at your command, your possibilities are endless.

Lightweight Design

We’ve minimized paint usage to shed every possible gram. Cherokee excels at energy retention, allowing you to hold speed through maneuvers and maintain a stable, efficient glide.

Glue Free Design

All components are secure by screw and no glue is required . Ensure a easy build and easy transportation for a 1700mm wing span plane.

Fully protected

The plane is protected by harden plastic nose cone, wing servo cover and skid plate. The preinstalled mono wheel landing gear will also greatly reduce friction when you land.

Ready for Towing

The Cherokee is very light and has a tow hook pre-installed. Pair it with a Tundra V3 on a 4S setup, and you can have the Cherokee airborne in no time.

The Signature V2 Upgrade

One throttle command. Two distinct flying modes.

The power arm responds automatically to motor operation, so there is no separate retract switch to manage and no additional deployment servo to install.

Powered Mode

Throttle up and the arm rises

As the 2026 2300KV brushless motor turns the 6x4 propeller, the power unit automatically rotates upright above the fuselage and aligns the thrust forward for climbing, recovery or energetic sport flying.

Soaring Mode

Power off and airflow folds it away

When the motor stops, airflow tilts the power arm rearward so it lies along the top of the fuselage. The cleaner profile reduces exposed drag and returns the Cherokee to quiet, efficient gliding.

Detailed Performance Highlights

Stronger in the air. Easier to live with on the ground.

Cherokee V2 adds structural reinforcement and removable major surfaces where they make a practical difference to flying, transport and long-term ownership.

Reinforced Removable Wings

More rigidity without turning transport into a chore

Carbon and aluminium tubes are pre-installed inside the wings to improve bending and torsional strength. A steel joiner connects the left and right wing panels, while internal reinforcement strengthens the fuselage wing-mounting area.

Field-Friendly Airframe

Protection and stability built into the V2 redesign

The enlarged, removable horizontal tail adds stability and packs down more conveniently. At the other end of each flight, molded protection at key contact points helps reduce everyday wear during landings.

What's New in V2?

Cherokee V1 vs V2

V2 is more than a power-system change. It upgrades the wing structure, assembly method, tailplane and fuselage reinforcement to improve strength, stability, transport and everyday usability.

Cherokee V2 HobbyKing Hall Cherokee V2 on the field with its standard retractable pusher system

	Cherokee V1	Cherokee V2 Upgrade
Flight and Power	Powered by a back-mounted EDF system	A 2300KV motor and 6x4E propeller are installed as standard on a self-deploying pusher arm.
Power Arm Operation	No standard retractable power system	The arm rises with motor power and settles back along the fuselage under airflow after the motor is switched off.
Wing Structure	Thinner wing structure with a comparatively less robust wing-joining system	Internal carbon and aluminium reinforcement increases bending and torsional rigidity.
Wing Connection	Wing panels were glued to the fuselage and could not be removed	Removable wing panels use a steel joiner and are securely fixed to the fuselage.
Horizontal Stabilizer	Smaller horizontal stabilizer	The tailplane is enlarged and removable, supporting greater stability and easier transport.

The key V2 difference: the pusher-power system requires no separate auxiliary retract mechanism. It deploys as the motor runs and folds back when power is switched off.

Who Is It For?

A versatile choice for pilots who want more than one style of flight

Cherokee V2 is best suited to pilots with previous fixed-wing RC experience who want scale character, powered soaring, aerobatic potential and aerotow capability in one distinctive airframe.

Soaring Enthusiasts

Climb under power, switch the motor off and let the propeller arm fold away for smooth, efficient gliding.

Sport & Aerobatic Pilots

Use on-demand propeller power and the reinforced wing structure for loops, inverted flight and more energetic power-glider manoeuvres.

Scale Glider & Aerotow Fans

Enjoy the unmistakable Hall Cherokee outline, then use the pre-installed tow hook for aerotow flights with a suitable tow aircraft and experienced pilots.

Why it is easy to own Removable wings and tail, screw-together assembly and pre-installed electronics reduce workshop time and make a 1700mm model easier to carry.
