This is your second plane? I would highly recommend that a Chipmunk NOT be your second plane. And I wouldn't want something with flaps either. It would just complicate the the learning curve with unneccessary additional controls. If you aren't into kit building, there are ARF's available like the Sig 4 star that will be a much easier and forgiving second plane. I'm sure others can recommend some other ARF's as well. BUT if you are intent on going with the Chipmunk, be sure to set the low rates as recommended and use an instructor with a buddy box until you get comfortable with it. After that crank up the high rates and have fun.
