Default RE: Dave Patrick super cub

Real sorry you lost your money outacontrol41, I've heard of that happening many times on rcu. I'm still waiting for an item that the company has my money taken from my account and have not heard from them and not seen my item, won't name drop here. As for parts if I need them the landing gear is easy to replace, I'm betting the H9 gear is identical or Robart. Not hard to find. Fittings if it gets that bad....Again the H9 fittings will work. Cowl.....Fiberglass specialties....or I can mold my own as with the windshield which I can shape with urethane foam and pull on my vacuum former. Wooden parts can be built easily enough. I had two vocations, structural steel and concrete as primary and industrial model building as secondary. After all....we are model builders right? check this link to see my helicopter work in the scale gallery. The windshields were made from plexiglass on a home made vacuum former and a shop vac.

Frank99, so now you're a home owner? Welcome to the other money drainer I bought a 12 x 24 shed to build in but it's 200' down the yard but it needs wired and insulated so in the meantime i'm building in a spare bedroom. Gonna take lots of wire and need to trench it. Picture shows shed on right is storage and one down back is shop. Having lost your shop a shed may be the way to go for you also.
