Hey all,

This Cub really looks great. I have wanted a Cub for awhile now and have been trying to decide between all the great ARF's or have a builder build a Kit. I have looked at and considered Balsa Usa's 1/3 scale. But this one is really nice. Check out the site and if anyone has gotten their hands on one of these please post!!

Www.davepatrickmodels.com.

Have one ordered. DP makes great stuff. Psyched!

Something about a $550 1/4 scale Cub ARF covered in Ultracoat. Great details though-- just got to wonder with ALL OF THOSE details-- Why the film (plastic looking) covering.[sm=confused.gif]

The answer I got from Dave and Sandy about why it's covered in film rather than fabric is that the film will look better for a longer time. The fabric weave would tend to "fill up" with dirt, oil, whatever, and look ugly in short order.

Now if the fabric were oversprayed with a clear coat of something, which may yellow over time (who cares on a yellow plane!) that would be OK. But that would add more $$ to the already high price.

Not that the plane isn't worth the price, indeed. If it is traditional Dave Patrick quality, it'll be a winner.

Mine should be on the way whenever the boat arrives.
