Default RE: Best CUB ARF?

Fickeflyer,

I have looked at tons of Cub ARFs out there and this is what I find:

1. Hanger 9 Cub- Came out in mid 1990's that started the ARF craze. Ultracote covered but workmanship is poor (for the example I got) compared to today's standard. Strut assembly is weak and not well designed.
2. TT Cub- a very similiar design as H9. I believed it was a copy with minor addition. That is the stringer on the side. This really makes a difference in scale appearance.
3. Powerline Hobby Cub- Same size as above but less scale. The body is too fat. Good workmaship. I do not know about the type of covering though...
4. ModelTech- a extremely similiar to TT. I believe it may be the same plane.
5. H9 Super Cub- very nice model. I think it may be the best non-yellow Super Cub out there.
6. DP Super Cub- a very nice one but bigger and looks a little bit chubby.

I would choose the GP Cub because:
a. Excellent scale outline.
b. FABRIC covered ( the only one that has fabric).
c. Excellent scale shaped struts (only one that has them).
d. I always have liked GP planes (for the most part).
