[8D]I was looking at the specs for the WM Chipmunk and it seems just like the old Goldberg kit. I had one of those years ago, and it was a great flying plane. Any comments on the WM Chipmunk? I think that I would prefer the fixed gear version.

Mike - the plane is a superb scale aerobatic plane. I had 2 of them. The new batch are slightly lighter and the decals all printed onto the covering. Makes life easier. I love how she flies, it feels very solid and if you set the CG up correctly you can KE almost without any coupling. Rudder turns are very flat with very little aileron and elevator input. I flew mine with a ST90, YS110 and also went EP on a 6S set up. You don't even need the flaps to land, she comes in ever so nice.
Only thing about the buld is the rudder/tail wheel bit. Make sure that you cut a slot for the tail wheel wires so it sits firmly. Do a few dry fitting runs first to get it right. Other than that there is not much to the build.
