I like the fuselage mounted here better than the wing version. It gives it a more up-to-date appearance.

THAT's it!  It is definitely a Chip but something seemed a little different... Way to go Stephen.  How aboout some statisitics: pwer, finish weight, etc???  and don't forget the flight report on 6/7...

Awesome plane!  Congratulations!  Question: Is it made from the Sig kit?

Thanks for all the kind words.  First flights were ok.  Needs some tip weight
 and trying to dial in the new engine.

It is a Sig kit with an OS 40 engine.  The winds today were gusting to 20mph so I took it easy.  Some trimming to come.

Same here, attached is my grandfather's chipmunk that crashed because the motor crapped on the outside loop of the horizontal 8 and went in 10ft away from me.  By the Stephen, that is a good looking plane
