first of all i want to thank Paul Savage for grounding the chipmunk i brought to test fly @ Catton park

on CoG test Paul spotted the left wing spar was broken

actually after taking the wing covering off the whole wind spar was cracked to the tip and the 3 ribs shattered

you never know what u get with a a purchase

well here the result
