I built this upscale of a Cherokee-D by kit bashing an Estes Argent. This is, essentially, what a Pro Series II Cherokee would be. I used the motor mount and lower tubes from the Argent kit, as well as various miscellaneous smaller parts. The upper tube section was replaced with a PSII 2.5" nose cone (from the Partizon or Ventris), and the fins are cut from 1/8" inch basswood (though a proper PSII design would use 1/8" ply). The decals are from Stickershock23.

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