Try and contact 3 W. They maybe can sell you the directions ?? Or, maybe someone will make you a copy.
Good Luck !

Know this post is old...but I just picked up an unbuilt 3w Super Chipmunk. Did you ever build and fly yours?

I would be interested to know.

Status: offline 		MilkMarsh,
Thanks for the pics. I had bought a 3W 75 for mine and was thinking it was too much. A 50cc might be better.
I was also thinking about switching out the solid stiff landing gear that come with the kit in favor of something that would absorb the shock of all but perfect landings.
Any other tips on building or flying would be appreciated.

Thanks,
paul

Status: online 		Plane is so light the landing gear should be no problem. Mine the colors are painted on the fuse, the white is the gel coat. the wings are monokoted. Plane flys like its on rails. I did a mod that allows the wings to be installed without removing the canopy, keeps it much simpler when out at the field. FYI Fibertech n more is in the process of marketing a 103" balsa and foam kit version. Suppose to be released this month, no price yet. Sopposed to be very light, 30 - 50 cc engine size.

Yes but, that is one of the Great Planes Discontinued arfs. Flys very well on a Saito 1.50. I am working on a Dynaflite Chipmunk that I kitbashed into a Super. Modified wing heavily, fiberglass cowl and putting a Moki 30 CC gasser in it. I also picked up a G&L kit, very nice. Here are a couple of pictures. I like to build, would do it full time if I could. Started flying as a youngster in the late 70's.

He is a serious buyer if anybody has a 3W kit they would be willing to sell. His e mail is in the quote about..
