Enjoying low and slow in my newest acquisition Justflight Chipmunk.
Canadian version with bubble canopy and different panel.



British version




I made the mistake of thinking the Canadian version was a complete plane when I bought the Eurofighter and have just bought the base pack to make it work. I'am
very happy with it so far it has a nicely weathered cockpit and the passengers not bad either.

Well done on the set...wonderful aircraft also...

Lovely pictures there sir, the Chippy is one of my favourite planes and Just Flight did a good job on this one. Every time I see one I am instantly transported back to being 13/14 again and remember having several Air Experience Flights with the ATC, flying up the north coast of Cornwall. Happy days indeed. Just starting a clean build of FSX and yep the Chippy is the first addon installed.

Cheers

I like the way you start it with a bit of wire, I was going to get the grob 115 by iris but thought the chippy had more character and I already had the Canadian addon wish I had bought it when it was on offer would have saved a few quid.

A change of scenery a short flight from Catalina island.


Sightseeing


A bit of an incident while I have been gone


Justflight Chipmunk and Aerosoft freeware Catalina Island scenery.

Another wonderful set...nicely done...

I did notice in the last shot someone stole the wheels off that Piper Cub...

Terrific shots! Looks like a fun little bird, might need to invest.

you can download Rick Pipers Chippy here for free.

Dang that looks better than the payware, but how is the VC and sounds?

Very nice photos. And JF did a wonderful job on the panel etc.
I have been upside-down a few times in real life Chipmunks [most of the time intentionally]. I love the look, the sound, and the smell of them. The only negatives are that the front cockpit is quite tiny and the rear cockpit is only a bit better. The main gripe I have is that since it was an ab-initio trainer it was not endowed with much horsepower [4cyl. DH Jypsy Major 145hp engine]. When you lose Altitude during your maneuvers it takes FOREVER to climb back up to a safe height for your next attempt at perfecting your skills. That does get kind of old after a while. I had dreams of buying one and installing a 180hp. lycoming in place of the little Gypsy. Of course that never did quite happen due to family needs etc. I would gladly own one today just the way they are. I would just not expect too much from it like I did when I was younger.

Its a nice plane for those low and slow scenic flights.

Chippy again
