Default RE: CMP SUPER CHIPMUNK 120

I put togeather one of these beautifull birds last year but havn't flown it yet. I have a ST G90 in the nose. A couple problems with the ARF are
(1) the landing gear blocks in the wings both came unglued when I inserted the landing gear in. Better on assembly rather than landing. I cut into the wing from the top directly above the blocks and found that there was next to no glue holding the landing gear tourque blocks or the grooved block in place. This would have been disasterous on my first landing. I reglued everything on both sides with Epoxy.... nice and strong now.Then I just widened the Black covering to cover the repair access hole.
(2) I also did not like how the tailwheel attached so I installed an extra servo on the bottom of the fuse and Y harnessed it to the rudder servo. I used shock absorbing steering likages on both sides of the servo arm and it works like a charm and a simple install.
(3) The cowl also fits like crap so just do the best you can with it.
