RE: Super Chipmunk Cowling
If they are still producing the aircraft, should they not have them?
Any chance someone could make a call, email, or even a fax to the factory to check for sure?
It is a shame........nice aircraft, good quality.........no spare parts.[
]
Thanks

RE: Super Chipmunk Cowling
Also..........just went and found it listed for $8.00 and shows Out Of Stock.
So is it $8.00 or $38.00 And is it the same size as the 40?

RE: Super Chipmunk Cowling
I wonder if you could use the existing broken cowl as a "form" for creating a new one with fiberglass cloth?
Except for the sanding this is easier than it sounds.

RE: Super Chipmunk Cowling
No..........I really do not want to form my own mold and cast a new cowling. If this airplane is no longer available, or no parts can be had for it, then I will get rid of it. I am not into this hobby as a modeler...........I assemble and fly. i do kit build and have currently 15 planes that are kitted, but that is not where I want to be now..........That is why I choose your models, the build quality is good, and I do not have to spend alot of extra time on fixing problems. That is why I was hoping that there was a cowling in stock to replace this one. Either as a replacement part or as one from a bad kit. This is a great flying airplane and I really do not want to part with it.
again............thanks for your help.

You don't have to form and cast a new cowl either.
You can use the existing broken cowl and layer fiberglass over that. Apply epoxy then let dry. Repeat.... and sand until smooth, then paint.

RE: Super Chipmunk Cowling
Good luck Fred420I have been trying to get a cowl and canopy for 5 months, they keep telling me it should be in in about 3 to 4 weeks well it has been 5 months now and the way i do math that is 20 weeks and still no sign of a cowl for my 1.60 AT-6. I have nicked named them with there new slogan OUT OF STOCK.
I will have to agree with you on there planes they are built very nice and very strong but if you look at there site 40/60% of the items they sell is OUT OF STOCK.
I really think they would do much better if they took all that OUT OF STOCK stuff off there site and just make it a one page site.
