I took my Chipmunk to the flying field yesterday and just taxied it around. It is a 57.5 in wingspan. My batter is mounted about 3/4 way back in the fuse for correct CG. It was a Nitro Model and I will never buy another from them. It was a terrible experience and had not my neighbor been around to give me so insight I would have discarded it. The Plans were the worst I have seen. And have talked to others that said they had Nitro Planes of various sorts and they agreed they would not buy another.
The plane is beautiful though i think it is just a very cool plane with the decals and all on. Mine has the dark canopy which to me is awsume looking. I am fairly new to flying and everyone has told me not to fly it yet I am not ready. Started with the Super Cub, then put a typhoon motor on it. Have been flying an Mini Edge and doing well with it. Fly a top wing glow trainer with a 63" wing span and it flys well. Last few days have been flying a Tribute foam plane had a 480 on it but was to much. Put a 400 with a 8X4.7 and it flew better but still has elevator wash. It is a very flimsy plane and would not recommend it to anyone. Think for learning a Typhoon would be ideal for maybe a fourth plane then step up to the Chip. That is what I am trying to do get good with the cheaper model before putting mine in the air. But i look cool at the field lol.
