Hi Tom & Wes

The Chipmunk is not completed. I'm still in the framing stage. I had to modify the plans to scale lines. As you know the full scale had a metal body and the leading edge of the wing was also metal. This is why I'm fiberglassing the body and going to fill the weave in the fabric on the leading edge of the wing to give it a metal look.
Using fiberglass cloth is not difficult I've used it on other projects, it just takes a lot of sanding to get good results. The G38 has a rear exhaust allowing it to fit in the cowl with only the carb exposed about a 1/4" on the side.
