The Cherokee II was introduced in 1956 by Stan Hall specifically for amateur construction from plans. The entire airframe is covered in fabric. Upper surface spoilers control the glidepath, and the landing gear is fixed.

Many examples vary in detail. The design was further developed by several builders including the Cherokee RM by Terry Miller and John Ree with a 13.4 m. / 44 ft. span wing with NACA 64(3)-618 airfoil which increased L/D max. to about 28, and the 15 m. Leonard Annebula which has Prue type trailling edge airbrakes and a claimed L/D max. of 31.

A Cherokee RM belongs to the National Soaring Museum.

Hall Cherokee II with available scale documentation.

click for larger image This beautiful example of the Hall Cherokee II was scratch built by Earl Mosley in California and shows off the extremely scale structure of this great-flying quarter-scale design engineered and prototyped by Canadian modeler Dave Smith. Stan Hall brought affordable high performance soaring to the masses with his well thought out all-wood construction Cherokee II. Available in plans beginning in the 50s, this aircraft has been built and flown by enthusiasts around the world. One in need of completion but with compete fuselage and tails recently was sold on Ebay for less than a thousand dollars. This is a classic in every sense of the word, and Dave has modeled it perfectly. His plans show a sport scale wing as well as drawings to finish the wing as per the full scale ship and much of the fuselage and tails construction is almost indistiguishable from the full size since he worked from Stan Halls original Cherokee II prints. Just as in the full-scale world, many examples exist and in the images here you can see both flat-wrapped plastic canopies as well as blown molded ones. Both are correct and scale. It is an excellent flyer by all reports and make a great subject for aerotow and can be successfully winched as well.
