JAMES LADELL THE PILOT SENT THIS INFO OVER -

Chipmunk has a King 67cc with 2.5 to 1 reduction drive.
Model is 38% scale (around 12ft span)
guidance is Futaba 18mz with powerbox cockpit.
Weight is 23kg dry.

Flying is a bit of a interesting affair, bank with ailerons and fly the rest of the turn with rudder and elevator. If you keep the turn on with aileron it just hangs it tail even if you use rudder, no pitch change is experienced with the flaps put in they just slow the aircraft.

Any display has to be a descending display as per full size as no power to climb during aerobatic manoeuvres.
Model is believed to be 18 years old !

The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a tandem, two-seat, single-engined primary trainer aircraft which was the standard primary trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Air Force and several other air forces through much of the post-Second World War years. The de Havilland Chipmunk was the first postwar aviation project of de Havilland Canada.
Today, over 500 DHC-1 Chipmunk airframes remain airworthy with more being rebuilt every year,

The Chipmunk was designed to succeed the de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane trainer that was widely used during the Second World War. Wsiewołod Jakimiuk, a Polish prewar engineer, created the first indigenous design of the aircraft at de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd. It is an all-metal, low wing, tandem two-place, single-engined aircraft with a conventional tailwheel landing gear and fabric-covered control surfaces. The wing is also fabric-covered aft of the spar. A clear perspex canopy covers the pilot/student (front) and instructor/passenger (rear) positions. CF-DIO-X, the Chipmunk prototype, flew for the first time at Downsview, Toronto on 22 May 1946 with Pat Fillingham, test pilot from the parent de Havilland company, at the controls,
