G-YRUS Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I have been flying 5 or 6 years now. I don't have any family history around aeromodeling but have always been fascinated by aeroplanes. Now I have a little more time scale is my ambition. Having suffered the woes of ARTFs I am convinced building your own is the way to go as I have spent so much time sorting out ARTFs I could have built several models. Asking around at our patch (Flying Druids at Rollestone) where we have close scale ties I think the Chipmunk was suggested as a first good scale model. I had already bought my set of parts and stumbled across this by accident but thought heck lets get involved. I'm self employed so time can be at a premium and I don't plan to get drawn into a race. I am happy to be last to finish if that's what it takes as I am not a quick builder although I am not on this model going to get bogged down with rivet counting. I want my Chippy to be a regular flyer that gets noticed. I am aiming for interesting scale fidelity without to much fuss. My colour scheme which might be open to change is civil as I thought it would be a bit different and simply found on the web. Electric power is the plan as its just so clean and convenient.

G-YRUS Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Liked the colours and enough all round shots to copy it on the web, that's it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Great stuff Phil, hopefully we can (as a group) cover all levels of detailing. What you hope to achieve is very similar to several peoples ambitions for this build. I know Chris B doesn't want to get overly bogged down in detail so hopefully between us and the other builders we will end up with some lovely models Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
