nnChipmunk v2

[BridgeInspector]

Put my name on a kit for FF! BridgeInspector (aka Aaron Blake)

I will get the electronics ready for a FF16 build. Will the kit be just the foam so we will need the other bits (spar choice, plastic, horns, rods, skewers, etc.) or will it include them?

In the video @ 1:04:10, he does mention the bassword spar is included in the kit.

I'll have a link for purchase in the next week or so! The kit will include the other bits except clear plastic. It will come with a poster board canopy. If I can figure out a way to get clear ones in the kit then I will make it happen!

Awesome build video with very detailed instructions! Thank you!

Great job on the vid nic! I've just got my intruder to finish up before FF and then it's on to this!

 

[J Bergsmith]

Just watched the video, turned out excellent. I enjoyed watching it, would have enjoyed it more if I had a kit I was building along with you.

 

[nerdnic]

Thanks guys! Can't wait to see your builds!

@keegan I'm fully expecting to fly doubles with you at FF so get cracking!

 

[AkimboGlueGuns]

Done.

I also found a pretty cool video of Art Scholl hucking his super chipmunk in the 70's and 80's.

 

[nerdnic]

You started on yours?

 

[AkimboGlueGuns]

Not quite yet. I've really just got to finish the wings/horizontal stab and pain the intruder before I move on to this. I'm gone camping next week, so it'll be a few days before I get to it.

I'll be waiting to see progress pics

[jayz 84]

[Jaxx]

Welcome back brother! Funny how life tends to get in the way of our hobbies isn't it?

Hey Nerdnic,

I see there are two types of rudder. Is on for the speed version or is it just a different Chipmunk design?

I have started building.

Nic,

Just watched the build video. Man, you're brilliant! I did some customizing of the V1 when I built it, but it took forever to come up with some of the mods. I wish your build video was available when I was doing the build. The way you lined up the magnet/Velcro hole is awesome, not to mention your use of poster board to reinforced the canopy. Love the way this wing is mounted to the fuselage. I can't wait to build this model!

Yeah, different design, it's for the 'Super' Chipmunk. I'm using the standard tail feathers build video.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the build video! Keep me posted on your build progress
