context_page_description: The Star Cavalier was an American two-seat high-wing light aircraft first introduced in the late 1920s.
context_section_description: The Star Aircraft division of Phillips Petroleum was formed at Bartlesville, Oklahoma in 1928.  Designers E.A.Riggs and W.Parker prepared plans for a two-passenger high-wing light private owner aircraft intended for the lower cost end of the market.  The advertised cost was $3,450. Three Cavalier A planes were delivered in 1928.
  The Cavalier B followed in 1929 fitted with a lower powered 55 hp Velie M-5 engine and 15 examples were sold at $2,895 to owners of more modest means. Single examples of the Cavalier C and D followed. The next to secure modest success was the Cavalier E of 1930 which had a 90 h.p. Lambert and was fitted with a taller, more angular, tail fin. 13 were sold. The last of the Cavalier series was the single F model.
