I know Art Scholl donated his to the Smithsonian. Are there more?

I thought Art's plane is in the EAA Airventure museum? Probably on loan.

Either way can't speak much about the airplane, never flew acro in one.

I flew with Art and flew his plane to airshows in the 60's. Also taught aerobatics for him at Flabob airport in Riverside Ca. Great guy. Yes, more than one were built. Doug Johnson

Bubbers,
So what is your impression of the Super Chipmunk?

I didn't fly the super chipmunk, when I was flying with him he had a clipped wing cub I flew around. Later he built the Chipmunk, then the Super Chipmunk. We did formation flying in a short movie he did called Ballet in the Blue. If anyone knows how to get a copy of the movie I would love to get one. He was the greatest showman around back then. He was so much fun to work with. He had unlimited energy and enthusiasm. His wife, Judy, still runs his Art Scholl Aviation at Rialto airport.
