Default RE: CMP SUPER CHIPMUNK 120

Thanks tonywayne! these photos are excellent!

Your idea with the tailwheel is brilliant - I see use for it on other models with a similar tail design.

I have an option to get this ARF but wanted some idea about it beforehand.
My only experience with CMP is with their large P-51 with which I was very happy, especially with the very low weight.

I have a spare, low time, reliable ASP 1.08 two stroke I was considering for this model.
It swings a 16-6 or 15-8 very well, and also it has a rather small silencer (for a 1.08) that I was hoping would fit inside the front cavity.
Is that cavity designed for an engine mounted at 45 deg below the horizon?
I'd appreciate some views of that area when you get the engine in place, but I think I will seriously consider getting this one.

I also noticed the model features flaps? other photos and ads for this model did not mention them so I'm happy to see they are there.
