HI, I CANOT DECIDE BETWEEN THE GP LITTLE TONY AND
THE WM SUPER CHIPMUNK.

GP quality is easily as good if not better than WM. But your choice depends on whether you want speed (Tony) or Aerobatics (Chippy)

The WM Chippie on the SA100 turning a 15x6 is superb. The plane is very aerobatic and easy to put together, only the issueis you need to take care in installing the tail wheel, do a dry fit and secure the thing wll to the rudder, you need to cut a slot for the wire to told down well. This is one of the best flying aerobatic plane in its class that I have had. The new Chipmunk has all the stuff printed on it, you need not cut out the stickers.

The Tony is nice, glass fuse and is a fast plane. Seen it fly it is looks great too.

For me it would be the Super Chipmunk unless we are talking about the GP Shoestring, now that is a really lovely plane.

THE RED PAINT. LOOKED A LITTLE CHEAP...

The Little Toni looks great in pics, in real life it does look plasticky. The new print on the Chipmunk is nice. You know how the SA100 flies the F90 which is about 9.5 lbs. Well the Chipmunk is about only 7.25 at the most with the SA100. Too bad I am compensating my friend with my Chipmunk if not I was really tempted to fly it with my YS110. That would be nice with a 3 bladed prop.
