Whats the problem with Chip?
I personally am rooting for Chip. He won the Nats in F3A for the first time the year before I started flying pattern. He flew a Dalotel with Goldberg retracts and wheels which had the tires worn through. He had some tough times a few years back and I'm glad he came back stronger than when he faded away. He's the most determined modeler I have ever seen or met and one heck of a nice guy.
Go Chip!
