Chipmunk
Hey, does anyone have a manual for Chippie? Like a Pilot Operating Handbook or anything. I want to start practicing with it and want to do it properly (without crashing).

supra omnia ego sum amicus tuus
The engine simulation in the Chipmunk isn't ideal. I did start doing a gypsy major simulation for FG but got disheartened as the cockpit tub wasn't lining up and I'm a fickle little bugger.
I recently added some Chipmunk manuals to the RTFM library: https://scottbouch.com/rtfm/
look under codified AP101B-55 and older AP4308

Best one to learn how to fly it would be AP3225C, the Chipmunk flying instructors handbook.

Chipmunk! It always makes me happy when I see them mentioned.
A friend of mine has recently bought a share in one and I plan on spending most of the rest of the year trying to convince him to take me up in it.
Lovely aircraft... When I was about 13/14 yearsold, I was lucky to go flying in Kennett Aviation's Chippie, with pilot Bob Thomson, he took me through some aerobatics or Cranfield (I will never forget!).. He was famed for flying round the world in the 80's with pop star Gary Numan, and for being Dave Gilmour's (of Pink Floyd) yellow Gnat pilot.
