Piper Pawnee 15e ARF
Overview
The Piper Pawnee was one of the first aircraft to be specifically designed
and built for agricultural spraying and dusting. Recognizing the dangers of
crop spraying: the natural dangers of low flying, obstacles such as water
towers, windmills, farm buildings, fence posts and electrical or telephone
wires, as well as the added hazards of the often toxic chemicals they
delivered to the fields, the Piper Corporation purposefully engineered the
Pawnee to take to the skies above the endless rows of corn as a dedicated
crop-spraying aircraft.
E-flite’s Piper Pawnee 15e ARF is a scale airplane that is unlike anything
else on the market. Designed by Peter Goldsmith, this attractive, easy to
assemble balsa and plywood agricultural aircraft model has extremely
gentle flight characteristics comparable to the ever-popular Piper Cub,
making it the perfect plane for inexperienced to moderately experienced pilots.
Created with the scale enthusiast in mind, E-flite’s Piper Pawnee 15e has all
the attention to detail the discerning modeler demands. This almost-ready-to-fly
plane replicates the exact scale outline of its full-scale counterpart—no
modifications were made to its original shape. Scale aileron and flap locations
also help to maintain the model’s scale integrity; furthermore, a preinstalled
scale cockpit, complete with a detailed instrument panel and molded pilot’s
seat, adds charming appeal. A scale, high-visibility UltraCote® trim scheme
and factory-painted fiberglass cowl finish off the airplane’s stylish looks
