Default Dynaflite Chipmunk Build

It is finally time to build the Dynaflite Chipmunk kit which I bought on ebay in 2023. It may be a slow build, so please be patient with me.
Opening the box it was all well packed and looks undamaged.
I was lucky enough to buy the Robart struts for this kit prior to Robart Manufacturing discontinuing the manufacturing of retracts and struts,






Cheers,
Eran

A quick view of the instruction manual, parts list and beautifully drawn large set of plans.
The build sequence starts with the horizontal stab.







Cheers,

NIce! I built of few of their kits, back in the day. If I recall correctly, Mark's Models became Dynaflite. The kits were easy and fun to build, they flew great, and they were more affordable than the big name brands back then.

Outrider6 - To the best of my knowledge Dynaflite is a line of model aircraft kits that was developed by Great Planes. I built quite a few Great Planes kits and the Chipmunk instruction manual is almost identical to the Great Planes manuals, it was written by the same people. I am looking forward for this build.

Recently, while reading an old RCM Magazines I stumbled on the product review of this kit (RCM June 2002 issue). I had to split the scanned file to be able to upload it here.
Cheers,
Eran
