In defense of the CG Chipmunk, it was designed as a good flying sport plane that happens to look like a Chipmunk, not a scale model for the average joe.

There are some good, closer to scale, Chipmunks out there. The defunct Ohio R/C kits come to mind for starters. There was also someone who kitted a glass fuse Chipmunk at some point but the manuf. name escapes me.
