My young fella flew his super chipmunk yesterday & did his first loop now he's out back tinkering with it & his parkzone Spit.
I think he's caught the bug !!

Good flight report Mike sounds like you have it all sorted, Where did you end up setting your CG ?.

Steff,
Great to see your "young fella" taking interest in the hobby; I'm still working on mine!
Right now the CG is exactly where the manual calls for it: 4.5inches. I accomplished this by moving the Life battery from the engine box to directly under the wing spar tube. She flies well at this location for now; once break in is done, I might move it back, but for now it flies smoothly here. Might have to adjust once I put on the cowl and spinner, per David's experience.
Looks like rain here all week, but Sat/Sun might be good for flying. Tell your "young fella" congrats on the loop and watch out for "figure 9's"
Peace,
Mike
