RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Anyone have the new clipped wing version yet? Would sure like to see some posts on it here, thoughts...comments.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

OK, I'll be the first.

Stock all-white DP Super Cub Clipped Wing with OS 160 twin.

I put the orange sunbursts on along with striping tape.

100% stock, 15.5 pounds with onboard glow lighter.

To be flown in a week or so.

Beautiful Dick! I wonder if DPM will ever offer the wheel pants and wings so those of us with the full version can have an option? I asked awhile back about the pants and was told they could not be purchased seperately. I assume the cowl will fit the original version...I like it better than the one with the oil filter.

Nice job on everyone's Cub! All look great. I have the clipped wing version (Orange and White) and was wondering if anyone has experience with the YS 1.40 itself or on this model. I was thinking of purchasing the YS 1.40 but after reading everyones post it seems as if everyone is really happy with the OS 1.60 twin. Any thoughts? Thanks!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

It's the sound. But the YS 1.40 would also sound Sweet[8D]

I have the OS 160 twin in mine. and it is the perfect match for this airplane, IMO. The engine fits nicely in the cowl. it has more than enough power, and it runs like a clock. And its true, the sound is fantastic. When the plane is on final with the engine ticking over, its as realistic as it gets. You can hear the engine mechanical clicking, prop noise, and the air whoosing over the wings and struts all separately. Its a great combo

What farmerric said :D:D:D
Merry Christmas to all!



Bud

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

farmerric, do you have the clipped wing version?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

What Bud said that Farmerric said:):D:)[sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I have the full size version in yellow...pics of some of the construction details are on earlier posts

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Has anyone modified their SC to make it look like a bush plane? Maybe some extra large tundra tires and beefed up tailgear and tailwheel? I'd love to see some pics. If I ever gather up the scratch for one of these that's what I'd like to do to it.

Here's a pic or two of my Super Cub flying which I neglected to upload previously. It flies! Here we are flying at an old Gulf War vintage Apache pad in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Daniel, Wow, what a flying site you have. So, is the cub fairly easy to land smoothly on a hard surface without allot of bouncing? I always have prefered a grass runway for taildraggers for a smooth landing. I see your using the flaps. Are they fairly effective for landing?

Nice job, Mark

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Good question, Mark. The Cub proved to be a little bouncy when I tried full-stall 3-pointers (I tested the gear pretty good:)). It definately flies like a Cub. Wheel landings are better and easier to pull off, especially if there is much wind to contend with. It also flies like a Cub in the air - lots of rudder required for turns, etc. Like they say, the Cub is very easy to fly, but very difficult to fly well.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

OK, Dick, I have to ask.....will there be a review of your Clipted Wing Super Cub in an upcoming issue of RC Report? I'm looking forward to it, if so!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Oh, yes, most certainly. Probably in 2 to 3 months. I've been building a lot of planes and Gordon only puts one of mine in each issue

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I have an Evoloution 26 in the full span Super Cub. Its a pefecct match IMHO and it's simple gas. I really have a ball with the airplane! Its nicely done, just put Dubro J-3 Cub wheels on it.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Mike,
Would you have any pictures of your engine installation? There are a lot of guys that wanted to go gas but a cowl intereference prevented it. This may be the engine for them.



Bud

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Mike,
I am building a clipped wing version and I have the MVVS 26 gas for it. (Its the same evolution 26)
Did you install it inverted ? What exhaust did you use ?
Happy flying
George

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I've had one person tell me that the Saito 150 will fit in the supercub and one tell me that it will not. Can someone let me know if it will fit without cutting the cowl?

Thanks

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

never mind after reading further I don't think it will fit. How about the saito 125 for the clipped wing version?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

It will fit.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I went electric, nice clean, no death sticks, and QUIET :D

Flying time is around 20 minutes per charge.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

electric cub?? I need the 4 stroke sound:D

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi Mike. I just purchased the blue and white DPM Super-clipped winged. I have a 3W 24 to install. I would be very interested in any photos and advise/recommendations/problems with the heavier gas motor in the cub. Thanks. Dave.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Dave,

How long from the time you ordered your Cub did it take for you to get it in your hands? I have had a white un-clipped one on order for over a year now.

Thanks,

Ray

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi Ray.
I found this one NIB on RCU for $465.00. I was going to order one also, but am somewhat impatient! Sorry your cub is taking so long to get to you. Regards. Dave.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Ray, Sorry to hear you are still waiting. It does seem pretty rediculous to have to wait this long. I originally wanted and ordered the ARC version last march. In their last shippment in August 05 the Arc's never showed and I was offered their last yellow one that I took. The fact that you want a white one may be the reason for the wait. I assume you are in touch with DP Models monthly to bark at em. Maybe you should get whatever they have and refinish in white.
I think of all the chinese arfy crap, DP Models is the slowest. I do have some of these arfy's, but still prefer to build my own.

Mark

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I did talk with DP himself, I think in January, and found out a few things that may explain the delays. There is a large US distributor using the same factory as DPM. The large distributor is trying to monopolize the factory, thus reason for the delays. Do I believe it??? Maybe a little, but I'm not that gullible to believe the whole 9 yards. I knew of the delays before ordering it, (through local hobby shop where I work part time). I have a 25 year old Balsa USA Cub that I just went through and re-covered. It will be ready to fly this spring with the original OS 120 twin, (if the 120 doesn't perform well, then I'll take the 160 twin intended for the Supercub and use it in the Cub and maybe forget about the DPM Supercub for a while).

Enjoy yours...

Ray

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi Bud.
Here are a few photos of my 3W24 in the DPM clipped wing. Hope these help you or anyone else contemplating going gas instead of glow. Regards. Dave

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

photos did not post

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Not sure how to get them to post. Tried the method described but had no luck. Please advise. Thank you. Dave.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Dave, you said you tried the method described. Did you click on lower left in reply where it said click here to upload? That's how I do it. If the file is too large it will let you know.



Bud

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Thanks Bud. The photos are up now.
Regards. Dave.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Looks good. Were your wheel pant brackets loose?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

1 was unattached. I enlarged the hole and used a mini torch and solder. I built the solder up and had good flow, when cool, I filed it off almost flush. Then a good clean up with lacquer thinner and white paint. It is a good repair and will most likely hold up. Regards. Dave.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Thats exactly how I repaired mine. I tried the JB weld and it did not hold. I have not completed the plane yet but I feel the bracket repair will hold.

I had a good deal of problems with the landing gear assy sticking but I believe I've worked through all of that.

Good luck with yours and keep us posted and I'll do the same.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

The DP Super Cub. I am building the Sig 1/5th scale J3 kit with Saito 90T. Need to get in air quicker. Going to purchase the DP SC, plan on powering with the OS 160 Twin. Anyone using this setup? Firewall placement for this engine?

Has the pipline been filled on the SC? Any discounts by any distributors ? Looks like to pay $599 ? Any replys appreciated.
