Default GP Chipmonk


I've been a building junky for years and know absolutely nutt'n about ARF's .......except they used to be too heavy and were expensive for what you got. That was back when. It's obviously not the case now.

I test flew a friend's GP Chipmonk today and was knocked-out by the way it flew. Tracked straight as an arrow from takeoff to landing and Rolled like it was on a string. The 120 2-stroke was pretty adequate....not a rocket ship, but probably about what Art had to work with. The thing required NO trim adjustment ....flew it just the way it was born. Looks great too.

What's the world coming to. Good looking and flying planes without glue incrusted fingers. There's something sacrilegious about that.
