i like the Chipmunk. It has really nice lines and is a good sized airplane. I did an engine change on Chipmunk many years ago. We removed the engine mount for refinishing. To reinstall it was tight. I could not fit into the area at the firewall so my four year old son crawled in to the cockpit and placed the nut on the bolt for me....I did get some one to help later to torque up the bolts.

Great to hear about personal experience oin our subjects. I saw some Chipmunks in Borden so long ago(1966). There were being used to train Tanzanian pilots.
