I built this upscale o' a Cherokee-D by kit bashin' an Estes Argent. This is, essentially, what a Pro Series II Cherokee would be. I used t' motor mount and lower tubes from t' Argent kit, ya bilge rat, as well as various miscellaneous smaller parts. T' upper tube section was replaced with a PSII 2.5" nose cone (from t' Partizon or Ventris), and t' fins are cut from 1/8" inch basswood (though a proper PSII design would use 1/8" ply). T' decals are from Stickershock23.

Good flight, shiver me timbers, nice straight boost despite wind. Wind did, me hearties, however, carry it pretty far down range even with a 300' chute deployment.
