RE: Chipmonk 46
I have the CMP version of that plane, mine was purchased from Raiden Tech. It has a tinted canopy but I think it is the same plane just an earlier version of the one you are talking about.
I have flown mine for about two years now and have always enjoyed taking it to the flying feild. I originally bought it for a fun scale fly in my club was hosting and ended up really liking it.
I mounted a Saito .56 on it and although it doesn't bore holes in the sky with unlimited verticle it does have very enjoyable performance perameters. It is predictable in flight with only one bad habit, be careful if you use high rates on the elevator I discovered a tendacy to snap out of a hard pull of the elevator stick. The plane will slow way down for some really nice landings and is completly predictable if you want to roll back on the throttle for a graceful touch and go. I really enjoy this plane and I think anyone who wants to take a classic scale aerobat to the feild to enjoy an afternoon of flawless, relaxing flight with moments of snap rolls and hammer heads and low, slow inverted passes this plane fits the bill.

RE: Chipmonk 46
Thanks for the replies. I was looking for comments on quality of the ARF, assembly instructions and flying abilites. I am not sure about the mfg of the model listed in wonderhobby and I could not reach them on the phone.

Wonder Hobbies uses the the same ads as Nitro.

I didn't pay that close of attention to your plane being 57" span, where my Nitro is 63" and a glass fuselage for the same price.
The quality of the Chipmunk ARF's are a good value for the money. I would suggest going to the 63" and glass for the same money. I did have to bend the gear forward about an 1" to prevent nose overs.

RE: Chipmonk 46
I agree with Huskerboy, the 63" with glass fuse is a good choice.
I think the way these planes look on the ground and in the air would make Art Scholl proud.

I bought one of these models a month ago and it awaits attention.
Thanks for the good flying report. You got my enthusiasm going again for this plane. <G>

RE: Chipmonk 46
Ed, I would like to hear what you think of yours when you get it flying. I am always interested in other peoples opinions and set ups on planes that I fly.
