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

i did and i use it on on other models great stuff and @ £7-£9 a roll for 5m it worth every penny
the rest of the chippe is tex so i thought i would do the same and spray paint the yellow and black. as original..
