Default Just-powering planes.

I've seen the Tiger, and it definately is rather different, a couple of guys at the club have been flying it, and it would have definately been a good choice, but I really want a scale (or semi-scale plane), with the chipmunk high on my list.

Now here's what I find funny:

the Airsail Chipmunk asks for a .32 to .46 sized engine:
- wingspan of 69 inches.
- length of 52 inches.

the CG Super Chipmunk on the other hand asks for a .45 to .60 (with most putting a .90 on it) sized engine:
- wingspan of 64 inches.
- length of 53 inches.

I know it's not exactly the same airplane what with the Super being a variant on the original, but it's pretty close! Must have different constructions. Keep in mind, I couldn't find the flying weight of the airsail version.

Can't hardly wait to have this yellow plane finished and sitting on top of my worktable.
