I'm glad I found this post. I'm planning a build of a CG Chippy soon. It's an older kit, probably from the '80's.
The info here will help me considerably.
I plan on getting a fiberglass cowl and junk the plastic wingtips and belly pan.
Fly it with a OS 90 4-Stroke, or a Saito 72 4-Stroke.
I'm tinkering with the idea of rounding the tail section from the TE of the wing back and using a fillet to blend in the wing joint.I'm
also going to make the belly pan from balsa and since i'm flying from a grass runway, scrap the wheel pants and nix the optional retracts.
I'll probably use pull-pull for the rudder and go with two servos for the ailerons. Install the optional flaps.
Although another covering scheme is tempting, I'll go with the classic Pennzoil R,W & B.
Thanks guys for all your input on this build.
