The de Havilland Chipmunk was originally designed as a post World War II primary trainer, a replacement for the venerable de Havilland Tiger Moth training biplane used by the air forces of the British Commonwealth throughout World War II. Among the tens of thousands of pilots who trained in or flew the Chipmunk for pleasure was veteran aerobatic and movie pilot Art Scholl. He flew his Pennzoil Special at airshows around the country throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, thrilling audiences with skill and showmanship, and proving that the design itself was a top-notch aerobatic aircraft. Original de Havilland Chipmunk The Chipmunk was an all-metal, low wing, tandem two-place, single engine airplane with a conventional tail wheel landing gear.
It had fabric-covered control surfaces and a clear plastic canopy covering the pilot and passenger/student positions. The production versions of the airplane were powered by a 145 hp in-line de Havilland Gipsy Major “8” engine. Art Scholl purchased two Canadian-built Chipmunks from the surplus market after they became available in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Using his skill as a licensed aircraft mechanic he modified the plane extensively, creating the Super Chipmunk by removing 20 inches from each wingtip and changed the airfoil section of the tip area, retracting the gear, converting it to a single-seater, adding an autopilot and a 260 hp Lycoming GO-435 flat-opposed 6-cylinder engine. When his popularity as a performer reached gigantic proportions in the 1970s he kept two Super Chipmunks busy on the airshow circuit, basing one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. Art Scholl’s Super Chipmunk The Super Chipmunk is one of those planes that has been on my “I’ll get one when I get around to it” list for quite a few years. So when I had the chance to review World Models’ Super Chipmunk RF I didn’t have to be asked twice. Linda Sweet Legal 3.
World Models has always had a great reputation of producing quality ARF aircraft so I was pretty sure I couldn’t go wrong. I definitely wasn’t disappointed with this airplane. So let’s get started and take a look at World Models’ Super Chipmunk RF. The World Model Super Chipmunk 90 RF Name: Super Chipmunk 90RF Price: $199.99 Wingspan: 63.8 in (1620 mm) Wing area: 688 sq. The Super Chipmunk arrived on my doorstep in a box that sported full color pictures of the plane on the box. To me this is usually a good indicator of the quality of what’s inside the box. Opening the box didn’t disappoint either: the quality was pretty easy to see right away.
The box is well packaged to help reduce any damage that may occur during shipment. Unpacking the box I found that all the major assemblies were individually packaged in plastic bags to protect them. Bmw E46 Parrot Ck3000 Install. All of the smaller parts and hardware were also packaged in plastic bags. Unpacking all of the assemblies I found a few things that were really nice to see. First off was the cowl. For anybody that has ever struggled in cutting openings in the cowl, there is an included cowl overlay to aide in getting these opening correct.
The overlay is made of clear plastic and is the same shape as the cowl. This let’s you make your cuts for the openings in the cowl before you ever start cutting on the cowl itself. The sub-assemblies such as the horizontal and vertical stabilizer come with the covering already removed in the areas where they will join the fuselage. This makes it a lot easier for the modeler to successfully assemble the plane.
