RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I feel very fortunate to have gotten my clipped wing cub here on RCU. Sorry to all of you that have to wait. As I posted earlier, I have installed a 3W 24 in the nose and will probably have a balance issue. So, I have opted to install the elevator servos in the tail. I cut the openings staggered below the horiz. stab. With the rec. and ignition batteries back with the receiver, the balance came out right at the suggested CG. As I get more done, I will continue to post my progress and photos.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Frank - Who did you backorder with? DP Models or your local hobbyshop? What is the ETA? Looks like I will call one in today.
Thanks,
Vince

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Good luck..... I asked Dave Patrick at the WRAM show regarding availability.... he said not anytime soon! Owe well....

I'm sure it won't be long before another vendor starts offering the same Cub. It seems to be the trend with some of the other ARF vendors....

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

had 1st offer on rcflyers cub should have took it and be the proud owner of 7 to 8 cubs like them all, now it looks like 07 on the yellow one there are 19 trillion people in china increase production [&:]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

this thread is great but I can't find one picture of the rudder and elevator servo set-up! Some used 2 servos on the elevator I don't know how they got all those pushrods ,along with the pull-pull rudder, to fit in that narrow fuse.

Frank,

www.espritmodels.com may have the clipped wing in stock. Thats where I got mine.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Thanks for the lead.... I'll have to call them tomorrow. I knew it!!!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

This is in response to Crankpin, he's right in regards to DP SC availability. I spoke to Dave at the WRAM Show, evidently Horizon Hobbies uses the same factory in China that he uses, and since they are bigger they got more leverage. They only run Dave's airplanes in-between Horizon runs if/when they get an open slot. He really sounded frustrated when we talked. It's a shame 'cause the Super Cub is a great quality airplane, and rigth now the demand way exceeds the supply. If you have one, feel fortunate, that's how I feel about mine.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Orvel - Your message just confirms my thoughts. Maybe DP can find another source. I am building the Sig 1/5th scale J3 with Saito 90T. I will call DP today and backorder one. If it takes a year, so be it. I will do some research this week and drop a note here on what I find out.

For those of you using the OS 160 twin: What and where did you make your cutout(s) in the bottom of the cowl for the air exit holes? It looks like if you make one larger hole, it will take most of the scoop out of the cowl. Maybe two smaller ones on either side of that scoop in the cowl? Thanks in advance!

Brian

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

:Dthe 160 only has the lower rectangle opening cut out in the cowl of mine, with soft type sceen glued in behind to keep junk out of the carb. never had an over heat yet, the gills of the cowl are plenty large for air excape, flying in 90+ days...... builder jim

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

SUMMERS COMING!!! :)
Sorry guys...haven't flown mine yet. Had a cataract in left eye which left me grounded all of last summer but vision is getting better after removal. Dang age thing. [:o] Hope to balance soon and hook up rudder cables then wait for those nice warm days.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hey Frank,
I take pay pal he,he. I can drop it off on my way to Las Vegas to spend the money. :D:D:D
Looking good on the Nelitz cub. Gotta build mine someday...I've only had the plans forever. Where did you get the cowl? Keep us posted on the progress.



Bud

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi Frank. Sorry you didn't get my Clipped wing Patrick Cub! I have the plans for the same Cub and am going to start it soon. Same question: Where did you get the cowl? From what I can see in your photos, you are doing a nice job!!
Regards. Dave.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

dave hoped you had a tire kicker on the plane,[:o] but it is gone maybe new owner will change his mind,[&:] will keep looking , dave and bud will get out the glasses and find the address on the cowl, faint manufacture name on the weave, i think stans has it too will check and send out address today, grounded, drought buster today THANK GOD frank, bud need your pay pal account number for the 1.5 mill[8D]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Lets see, 1.5 mil. hmmmm. I'd have to buy a place on the bay with a dock to anchor my yacht, a ferrari, a real super cub, all of proctors kits, everything I see at the hobby shop...hell! the hobby shop, act like i'm 30 again. hmmmm. Might be too much for my heart!! :D
Hey Frank, I found in Bob Nelitz's article on the cub he got his cowl made from his plug at hobbybarn in Tucson Az. I emailed them to see if they still have any. hobbybarn.com I think fiberglass specialties has one also.

Nice bird George, no doubt having more fun than I am with this cold weather. Nice field too. :D

I found out hobby barn has the nelitz cowl but on back order...maybe a month.


Bud

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Anyone have a line on when the DP Yellow SC is going to production again? Does DP backorder previous requests for the SC?
Is getting one from DP just a dream? Any advice would be appreciated.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Vince, you may not have a DP SC, but you had weather to die for today!

As I've heard in the past from Sandy at DP Models, your order is filled according to your place in line. The sooner you call and get in line, the sooner your chance of getting one. When I ordered mine, I told her to call me before they charge my card and ship, to make sure I still wanted it. She did just that when they had stock again. I got the last one in the last shipment last August.

Mark

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

It took me 8 months from the day I ordered it to the day I got it, but it was well worth the wait! On the DPM website it says they are coming out with new models. Has anyone heard of the new line up?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Maybe I have the right spot for Super Cub information. Does anyone have a line on a wing for a H-9 100" super Cub wing or plans for building one. Are there other manufactures wings that would work ? I don't have the old wing to build from. Any information is appreciated.

Terry

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Terry, if your needing a wing replacement, H-9 is very reasonable on the cost of their replacement parts. If they are out of stock with no delivery date, that is a different story. Kind of like DP Models.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Mark, they no longer have the wing in stock and will not be reproducing them. H-9 will not be selling any copies of plans for the plane either. Hopefully I will run across one of them, would like to get it in the air this spring.

Terry

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Well, I guess with all these ARFy's being made in china and flooding the market, that's kind of normal. We need to fight back and start building kits or scratch em out again.
