How to Make Piper Cherokee RC plane (DIY)

Piper Cherokee is a private and trainer plane. Made by Piper Aircraft. first flight in 1960. It still in production until now with variants Arrow, Archer and Warrior. This plane is very stable and easy for handling. I made an RC plane of it in semi scale model. I made its wing longer than the real one. The front wheel it`s not steerable but don`t worry you can still steer it on the ground with rudder.
