As seen at the Chicago model show. Both look very nice. Although the Cap seems heavy when I picked it up. The Chipmunk, too, with all that lead they had in the nose.
The show seemed smaller than in the past and next year it will be in LA. Maybe because that's where the people who put on the show are from?

I think the show improved a bit from last year. The reps seemed to be helpful and knowledgeable. I attended on Sunday with my wife and son. They both felt the show had improved slightly.
Great Planes seemed to have quite a few new offerings for fuel and electric in the ARF lines. Availability was treated as an issue that the GP reps did not wish to discuss. Horizon had some interesting items with very helpful people around to answer questions. Same for Hitec and some of the others. The disappointment is that Chicago is treated second hand for the shows. Toledo, Vegas and the West Coast seem to be where the best shows are.

Hey there,
I always liked how the chipmunk looked. I remember when Art died. He was working as a stuntman for some movie..
I hope these are better then the GP Eagle...

I just got my WM Chipmunk up last week and its a really nice plane to fly ... I am most keen to see what the GP one will be like, a huge plane with stripes on top of the wings will look great when it banks.
