great review ken.....i had (and notice "had") a super chipmunk 52 ARF that i won on an auction on ..you guessed it...e-bay. i believe it was a CMP brand ARF. the instructions were pretty bad and i had to do alot of searching on the web to find info that i needed to assemble this project. it was one of those 89 dollar planes that looks so nice in the pictures that you've just got to have one. well, i did get to fly it a couple of times and it didnt fly too badly for the most part. however, the stall characteristics of this plane gave me trouble on my landing approaches...and because i'm a beginner...i wasnt able to recover so i've lost this plane. i will have another one someday because they are so beautiful in the air as well as on the ground. best of luck dave. you will like this plane. it's a beauty. here's the one i had.
