Chipmonk
 

Anyone flying a world models super chipmonk? Maybe with an OS 91 FS? Appreciate any input about quality, flying etc. Thanks a bunch

there is plenty of info on it here if you do a search for it. it has very good reviews. the hot setup is with a saito 100, but a 91 4s is fine. I still have my WM Chipmunk in the box but it will be getting the 100 when I get to it.

My son has this combo, WM chipmunk with OS 91 Surpass. Flies really nice (I have not flown it) but he sure enjoys it. If has good pull from mid to high throttle. It is not unlimited though due to the weight. Great for precision flying (IMAC type) but not 3D.

The Chipmunk is his favorite at the moment. The engine is most reliable. The only sore point is the retracts, they are delicate. Flaps are a must to keep the speed down on landings.

Fly mine with the Saito 91 which is about 3-5 oz lighter than the OS 91. Flys with good power, good vertical but not unlimited. I have made probably 100 landings and retracts are solid and never given any trouble even when I fly on grass. A buddy of mine also has this same set up and he will ditto this. Overall, an excellent plane.

I initially had an O.S. .91 Surpass on this plane and was not satisfied with the power. I've switched to a Super Tiger .90 two stroke, and its like a new plane. I really like flying it now.

[8D]I had mine with OS .91 4 stroke and what a beautiful combo. Hats off. I will agree with the landing gear being little soft however, never had a major problem. Sold mine to club member, going to get another one soon to rectify the mistake!!
