Kickstand,

Welcome to the club. I built the CG Super chipmunk last winter. I haven't flown it yet but plan to next spring or summer. I just started flying in March and now am pretty good, but not enough to endanger my precious Purple Chippy. The kit I got was a very old one that the store owner said had been on his shelves for 5 to 8 years. It was a kit that was manufactured before Lanier took over CG. I have heard that the laser cut kit is not as good as the old die cut kits. This may have just been an isolated incidence. I would get one. Mine was fun to build. I covered it in Worldtex Fabric, and then painted it. Here are a few pic's if interested.
