Utterly pointless. You would be far better starting with a clean sheet of paper and designing a brand new aeroplane. Poor old Chippie would never get off the ground with the extra weight and complexity. Just think how much fun you would have redesigning that brake system!

If you want a two seat, retractable, aerobatic, basic training aircraft you would do well to look at the alternatives that have already been built.
