You mean this one? :D
It will be in my hanger for (as Harrison Ford said in six days and seven nights) a long,long,long,long time. ;)

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I may have given up on the DPM Supercub for the Jenny, but I do have a 25 year old Balsa USA 1/4 scale cub with a twin OS 1.20 to give me my "cub" fix. It may not be as aerobatic as the DPM, but it flies every bit a scale as a cub flies. (I'll drop a photo in as soon as I get my camera disk back). I know what Bud says about it being a"keeper".

By the way, Bud that blue Cub on floats looks quite nice, if I haven't indicated before.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Uh oh! Not you doing house renovations too? My present work room (small bedroom upstairs) was at a standstill while we did my renovations. (I did sneak in a build on my SR eindecker) Still have the rec room,two bathrooms and sunroom to finish....just got new carpet upstairs living room and wood floors kitchen/dining room done after stripping tons of wallpaper and building half wall between living/dining room and painting. Carpet man asked when we started renovations, I asked him....what year is it now ? :)

Nice work area Frank,
I see you have the same field box as me...mine weighs a ton! Gotta get wheels or something.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Here's a pic of my 1/4 scale Balsa USA as promised. This cub was built by one of the original members of our club back in 1982, (it is signed inside the wings). After 2 or 3 flights the builder died and it hung with all of his other airplanes in our meeting room. I was able to buy it from his wife. After recovering, new windshield, cowling, tires and fuel system, I installed an on-board glow system. The original OS 1.20 twin needed cleaning and loosening up. it runs once again like a swiss watch. I flew it last August, just a few days short of it's 25th year of being built and it flies almost exactly the same as a 1:1 cub.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Beautiful cub Ray, looks new.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

i knew i was in trouble when the brown guys drop off that box from tower , the sig box needs wheels, shocks, and a lift kit frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Anyone hear any more news on the Super Cubs?? Is the Clip wing in stock either? I wonder if they ever will show....................

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

A while back somebody was asking If anyone had turned this cub into more of a bush plane. A guy over on RCGroups did that exact thing to his 80" Adrian Page Supercub kit.

Ferki

Sorry if the pictures don't show up

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Is this plane in stock? or has it died? I would love to own one but seems its never around.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I am selling mine ? Still new but started with a 3w 24.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Anyone hear any news on the Cub's. I did send a fax and requested a email or call. I got an email saying they do not know when they are gonna get a shipment.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I have a clipped wing Dave Patrick cub with blue trim with an OS 160 twin and onboard glow for sale if anyone is interested. It has about ten flawless flights on it with perfect landings. It is in mint condition. I am making the jump over to jets and need to sell some kits before I can make any more purchases. Thanks, Mike

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

hey mike ice is coming your way be carful how much for the plane and can you ship???????? thanks frank need a yellow one but blue is nice and it has the right engine thanks frank can you send some pics at [email protected]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I called DPM yesterday, an answering machine had picked-up, and then a female answered, cutting off the machine. I asked her about purchasing a Cub, she stated she did not have them in stock and did not know when they would be receiving a shipment.

She had a poor tone in her voice, like I was taking time from her bubble-bath or something?? She did not seem a bit interested in taking the time to try and keep a customer. Note; I was on the phone for less then a minute!

It’s a shame, a person like DP, making such a pristine aircraft and business, and flushing it all down the drain, go figure!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Yep,
These people are really something, same results here. I think the hobby should pressure these people. How can this guy show at TOP GUN and not get flack, he should go out of business or just tell people what the deal is. I'm afraid if they ever do come out the quality will be poor.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

My R/C Friends,

I really did want a DPM Cub; however, I will not spend one single cent on a company and its owners, who consistently not only treat me badly, but the R/C community as well.

Question: Is DPM currently accepting purchase orders, and if so, do they require a deposit or full payment. I am not accusing them of fraud; however, I am just curious if they have accepted lots of orders with payments, and now have spent a majority of the money and can not complete an order with the manufacture.

You can easy put the burden on the manufacture; however, take a second and ask yourself, if you owned DPM would you allow your business to crumble away for a manufacture? The answer is, NO!! Example, take a company like Great Planes and Hanger 9, who has tons of Cub’s for sale, grant the quality may not match those of DPM; however, it takes a manufacture to assemble these good kits as well, without shortages.

I don’t know, maybe I am wrong altogether, I am just disappointed. Dave Patrick, if you’re reading this, SAVE YOUR BUSINESS!


Sincerely,

Disappointed Customer

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

All I can tell you is they are a very small company competing in a large market with tower/great planes etc. From what I understand the manufacturer in china has given precedence to the larger market dealers and this has slowed the DPM cubs almost to a halt and Dave has been working on the problem. They do not require a deposit and if you buy with a credit card the account is not charged until your order is shipped.

I will pay cash for any dave patrick cub nib email [email protected] thanks John

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I think what bud said is correct. Dave keeps getting put behind the bigger companys so his hands are tied. I don't think he gives you any time frame because he doesn't get one.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Last summer the right flange on the Keleo exhaust header on my OS 160FT broke off. It was hard to see inside the DPM Super Cub cowl, but I noticed the pipes wiggling and making contact with the cowl exit hole. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyway, I contacted Keleo, they said send it back with $10 bucks and they would repair it. I finally got a round tuit and sent it in last week. Just got it back (less than a week turnaround) and....IT'S A BRAND NEW ONE! This one has beefier flanges on it and looks like it will last forever. Thanks to Keleo for some really great service!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

If you read post #786 Hill202 had the same problem. I have the same set-up but have not maidened mine yet. Glad to see Keleo has great customer service!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

This is no excuse for extremely poor sustomer service!

I will never, ever, EVER purchase from DPM again.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I don't blame you. It is very frustrating dealing with them.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I have a question for any of you whho have built this Cub. I need a replacement windshield for my yellow Super Cub as the one that came with my kit was pretty cracked up. I have ordered one from Dave Patrick and has been the case for sometime now, they have no idea when they'll be getting more in stock.

So...........do any of you know if a windshield from any other kits will work on this model?

Thanks,

Dan

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

As of next month I will be waiting 1 year for my replacement windshield from DPM.... so don't hold your breath. [:o]

I just hope all the bad service posts on the net warn people away from making the mistake of buying a DPM plane.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I would like to know more about your mods to the floats which looks great by the way. I tried finding the forum you mentioned but no luck. I was considering a float plane like the Byron Husky which I would have to build but maybe just getting DPM's white cub would be the way to go if I can get one. I surely would like to scale the floats like yours if possible. Any info on your mods is appreciated.

I just looked over the exhibitor's list for the 2007 Toledo Weak Signals R/C Show and saw that Dave Patrick Models will not be there this year. Who can blame him? It would be suicide.[:o]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Too bad about DP Models. I see he has taken on an editor's job at the AMA mag. I think Scale Flying. Does anyone know what's up with them? It could not be production problems, as I have heard in the past that his planes are made on the same line in the Chinese factory that Great Planes or another company has planes made, and they took precedent.

I just received my QQ Somenizi new 86" Yak 54, and they have another shipment backing it up, plus they are getting many more planes from the China operation.

DP Models has my CC on file, and I will leave it there, hoping some day to get the best looking ARF Cub out there.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Yeah, I emailed him with the AMA address, of course he didn't reply and I see me earlier post was removed from this forum also. All i said was he has brass ****'s...

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

He wasnt at the WRAMS show in FEB either. He always was there, thats where I ordered mine (and got it 6 months later) see earlier posts on construction. It is well worth the money. Too bad

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

:eek:Oh, I wish'd Great Planes or Hangar 9 would take over his entire line of products and ramp up production. [>:]
