Hi..

I saw a chipmonk arf at the field and wanted to know if anybody knows who makes it? I think it was a 90 size.

Great Planes has one for a 90 two stroke to a 120 four stroke. Has about a 81 inch span.

The BH chipmunk is the perfect ARF.

It has flaps, can land at a walking pace almost and flys great.

Kit quality is excellent but the tail wheel can be a pain.

Don't let that put you off, it's a great plane.

World Models make a 60/90 size, with or without retracts, and it is an excellant flyer. Nitroplanes makes a 40 size and a 120 size and they are pretty terrible.

I had a first generation Chipmonk from World Models years ago, put a inverted Super Tiger .90 in it, flew great.
Later versions were even better.

Thanks guys for the information. I guess i will buy the world models chipmunk, the great planes arf has been discontinued from tower. Tower no longer has one.

Thanks..

Yeah take the WM one, I also flew mine with a G90 ... later EP and a YS110 ... she flies so so well, try the KE, its very very nice. Oh yes ... no need flaps to land at all.

Just for sure stay away from the NITRO MODEL. I went down that terribly bumpy road. Nice looking plane after getting it done but getting it was a nightmare.

[8D]I think the WM chipmonk is very similar to the Goldberg kit which is a great flying model.
