Nice model and looks like she flies great. I just bought one of these two months ago used. The wings are joined already and it has the retractable landing gear. I also got two O.S. 91 Surpasses with it and a lot of misc. stuff all for a $100. I don't know if mine is older then the one you got or not. Looks like the decals were on yours out of the box, mine are not. Always wanted a Chippy now I got one. I have something else on the building board now and a repair to do on another plane then I get this one going. Should be ready by the spring, can't wait.
