RE: DPM Cubs Coming Back!
I'll have to agree that the Mustang and J3 Cub are among the most common planes, along with Corsairs, P-40s, Thunderbolts, and Helldivers. The quantity of Lancairs, Sukois, Yaks, Caps, and Edges has seriously undermined my interest in those planes too. I have seen so many turbine jets that everybody else owns, I just get tired of seeing them. Ag wagons and Pawnees? One day, I'm sure those will outnumber J3s and Mustangs, so I doubt if I'll add one of those to my collection. One thing I can say that's good about the plane that "everybody must have in their hangar": They sell very well. And why not? Everybody wants one so that's what I buy if I want to stay in the hobby, like all the rest of the Joe Six Packs.
I like the idea of a Super Cub in that it has an actual cowl and just looks better. An added bonus: Over the years that I have visited fields and been involved in this hobby, I don't think I have ever seen one! Amazing. Congrats to Cermark on their choice of taking one of the most commonly seen planes and making it something special. It would be especially nice if a larger variety of color schemes were offered. How about the possibility of a Tri-Pacer? And There are many other scale planes that are rarely, if ever, seen at the local club. Decathlons, Citabrias, Cessna 152s, Piper Warriors, arrows, cherokees, Beech Sport 150s and Skippers, Piper Tomahawks, and quite a few others are there to discover. May you have the best of luck getting all this back on track.
