Nexus in the UK has some, but I have no idea of the quality.

go to http://www.modelflying.co.uk and click on model shop in the toolbar.

Dan,

I built an electric Chipmunk this year. It is based on the Homebuilt version built out of Quebec [link=http://www.super-chipmunk.com]super chipmunk site[/link].

I am now in the process producing kits of my electric version of it.



It spans 45" and has a rediculous rate of climb on an AXI 2820-10 on 10 cells.

There is a better picture of it in the NEAT coverage in MAN, January 2004.


I know that the Dynaflite Chipmunk has also been successfully converted to electric.


I hope this helps!

Dan,

I've just finished the Beta test-model, and, later this week, I will be ordering the first production kits.

Here are pictures of the beta-test model, with both tails that come with it.





Here are some actual altitude/time data, and charts made from a flight. [link=http://members.aol.com/rwdrc/scdata.xls]Super Chipmunk flght data[/link]

Enjoy!
