Default RE: DPM Cubs Coming Back!


ORIGINAL: G.P.


............ a Storch...........Since none of those are likely as ARFs, we'll just have to settle for a few more Cubs and P51s.
I would love to see a lot of those too. If you love the Storch (the original bush plane!!!!) check out the new BMI / Vmar 19500mm Storch. It's not the greatest of arf's, but it's the best/biggest Storch arf out there that I know of. I just did a mini-reveiw of it on another site under the same user name.
OK, OK.

I concede defeat on the Storch. I once had one, well detailed, with about a 12 ft. wingspan. I've sort of gone off it though in favor of the Kobiseiko GO60.

As for the Cubs, it is nice to see the CErmark PA18 returning. A while agao, Adrian Page had a nice PA18 at about 1/5 scale and brought out an electric version. Sadly, they are no more.

If you can still get a copy, about 15-20 years ago Charlie Richard drew up plans for a very nice, well detailed 1/3 size PA18. And if you still want a J-3 with a couwl, why not do a PA11? A lot of guys think just plonking a cowl onto a J-3 makes it a PA18. Not so, it's closer to the PA11. I believe there's still a 1/4 size PA11 plan available from Jim Pepino's plasn service.

Unfortunately, none of these ar ARF. You gotta build.
