Guillow's 900 Series DHC-1 Chipmunk

The 900 series are some of the better flying scale models in the Guillow's line-up!  Rubber powered models with minimal parts and simple construction.  Built light, they are great fliers with ample wing areas.  These kits contain quality die-cut balsa wood, plastic nose cowls, canopies and water-slide decals.

The Chipmunk has great proportions for a flying model.

Due to the die-cut parts, we recommend these for more experienced builders, but a beginner can succeed with patience.  For flying, we suggest you upgrade your model with one of our 6" or 7" props, Super Sport rubber and our Asuka 'Flying Bird' tissue.

For now, we will carry the entire 900 series line.  The models with the best potential to fly well include the Bird Dog, Chipmunk, Skyraider and Trojan.  If the model you want is out of stock, just contact us and we will get it for you!

*** The Chipmunk was the first original design by de Havilland Canada and was built in quantity in Canada and Great Britain for their Royal Air Forces.  It was primarily used as a basic trainer to provide air cadets with elementary flying instructions, prior to going on to jet aircraft training.  The parent Canadian company produced a total of 218 DHC-1’s some of which remain in service.  Over one thousand were built by de Havilland in the U.K., including both military and civilian versions.  As a civilian aircraft, the Chipmunk is often seen in aerobatics competition.
