Default RE: CMP Super Chipmunk 52
Yeh the wire shocked me. It had been bent a few times in the past but not enough that I would think it would be that brittle. Broke long before any other gear I have had to bend repeatedly to straighten.

The elevator is split with a wooden dowel Y pushrod.

Needs a lot of weight on the nose to balance too. I dont have any scales to measure the weight of the sinkers I use for weight, but it took two fairly big spoon sinkers to get it to balance.
