Oh, Wild Bill...

I was messing with some of Rick Piper's brilliant Chippies...



Then I realised I had the V2 model.
Version 3 textures are not backward compatible it seems...so I suspect there's an entire NZ fleet waiting to be done!

Great break shot Charl , the NZ list cannot be to large ,maybe only half a doz .

Ooooh!!! I always loved Rick's Chippies. Must update! My first flight (in *any* plane) was made in a Chippy ... I'll never forget it!

Awesome shot Charl

Half a dozen plus another ten , ARM and ARL would be showing there age , guess many have been uprated , not the sorta type i follow , was one other in a fatal crash at Wanaka , not sure if that is still on the list .

Zk-TNR (WB566) was the chippie at Wanaka '94 on the Sunday, was front and centre in front of the gold stand at the fence taking some shots when it hit the ground, got one a second after impact with the dust up, no slide just straight pancake stop. Very sad.
