Not bad. I wouldn't award him full points, thought. He kept missing the 5' bottoms, his tops were inconsistent, I think he was missing the intersections, and it appears he still needs lots of practice on the order of the stunts. I didn't see him do the reverse wingover, so I was having to guess when he started the pattern. Good builder, though, and it appears he installed a wiggly Rabe-rudder.  LL~

Seriously, though, fantastic footage. That engine sounded like it was just purring along though everything. Great, now I want to try my hand at building a PA version of that plane.

can see a plan there , a bit folded . https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/super-chipmunk-control-line-vintage-1814185669 the Mike Stott / SIG one . Wernt there TWO Versions ? foam & built up ? .


To my Knowledge the only Sig Super Chipmunk had a built up wing. The Sig P51 mustang and Sig Magnum both had foam wings. And the beloved Sig Akrobat, to which I've never seen anyone build, fly or mention aside from my own some 25 years ago also had a built up wing. Always take alot of pictures before the first flight. 😁
