Default RE: Dave Patrick super cub

This looks to be a great flying PA-18, and the paint scheme is sweet to, except for the black N numbers. I don't like the 18.5# weight figure, although I would hope they are maybe including the floats at that high of a weight for a 1/4 scale Cub. My DP PA-18 only weighs 14.5 lbs painted. I don't care what anyone says, a 19 lb Cub will fly ok/good, but it will not fly great/floaty like a Cub should fly. Its the same problem E-flite has with their little .25 71" PA-18. Its a great sport plane, but she sure don't fly scale. [&o]
