DHC-1 Chipmunk
The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a tandem, two-seat, single-engined primary trainer aircraft developed and manufactured by Canadian aircraft manufacturer de Havilland Canada. It was developed shortly after the Second World War and sold heavily throughout the immediate post-war years, being typically employed as a replacement for the de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane.
The Chipmunk holds the distinction of being the first postwar aviation project conducted by de Havilland Canada. It performed its maiden flight on 22 May 1946 and was introduced to operational service that same year. During the late 1940s and 1950s, the Chipmunk was procured in large numbers by military air services such as the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Royal Air Force (RAF), and several other nation's air forces, where it was often utilised as their standard primary trainer aircraft. The type was also produced under licence by de Havilland in the United Kingdom, who would produce the vast majority of Chipmunks, as well as by OGMA (Oficinas Gerais de Material Aeronáutico) in Portugal.
This one is based on SAS~CirX's Miles Magister M14A. Thanks to SAS~CirX and to all involved with bringing us this aircraft.

In this update you'll find that the Chipmunks now have a new cockpit as well as the canopy
now opens in the proper direction.
I've enclosed the new skin folders with the appropriate skins in them as well.
From the new readme
de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk own slots WIP.
3D model: Edlor.
Slots: Pete Shaw aka Mission_bug.
Notes:
Uses the decompiled class from the Magister by RAF_Magpie renamed for the Chipmunk (original classes by Charlie Chap with FM by RAF_Magpie and No457_Foxtrot.
The cockpits are from the Z-26 by Stoupa with the classes decompiled and renamed for the Chipmunk.
Blister java was used from the Z26 as the canopy opened the wrong way using that in the Magister.
The FM uses the MagM14A fmd and DH_Series emd renamed for the Chipmunk, no changes were made to the entries inside the files other than to tie them to the Chipmunk.
Only the port flap was working so additional entries have been added to the java for each of the flap meshes in the plane folder.
I believe the original classes were 4.10 and were recompiled in that environment.
The aircraft displays eratic behaviour in the landing pattern, I do not know if that is a java or FM problem but quite a lot of mods suffer from it.
SSP included.
