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, https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...5384df0970.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...d483e936a8.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...97d1682805.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...a4919993a0.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...e8b5727805.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...84b9cad5da.jpg 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. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...8ad110f00c.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...cbf84292e0.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...03c6b6f2eb.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...eade6be0d0.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...fbd9a2ae1f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...8cb0527647.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...e9141320be.jpg Cheers, Eran |
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 |
