RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Thank you Mark! It sounds like that may be a little hard to duplicate though! My build has slowed to a crawl because of a new addition to our family last Dec, so I guess I'll have some time to think about how to do it.
Thanks again! Greg |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Hey Bud, are you still on here? I have been going back through the posts looking for the info on where you got that little canoe to haul on the float rigging. I can't find it. I know I saw it somewhere back there. Could you please post or PM me the info?
Thanks, Mark |

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Thanks Bud. I was talking to a friend about it and he got all excited about getting one for his Hangar 9. He is putting on a float fly in August and wants to spruce up his plane.
Thanks again, Mark |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Your welcome, you think you can get him to post a picture?
Bud |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I'll give it a try. Most likely, I will shoot and post it as soon as he gets it done.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Does anyone on here know what kind of paint was used on the DP Cubs? I need to repaint and it would be nice to know for compatibility issues.
Thanks, Mark |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I used a lustercote cub yellow spray in a can to repair the landing gear parts and it matched well

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Just curious if anyone has any flight videos of their super cubs?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
WOW thanks for the link. I saw the DP name on the lists of booths for Toledo this year on their web site, but I though it was just a misprint hold over from a pevious year. I spoke to Dave P at the WRAMS show several years ago when the cubs first came out (I got mine then) and he said that he was having terrible priority problems at the factory back then.

We want to provide Dave as much resources as possible to allow him to focus on creative aspect of design, QC portion of production, and teaching portion of flying for DPM . As for service and logistics, we are in the process of setting up. Please give us approximately 30-40 days integrating telephone, email and website. As for the DPM items, here are the plan; a) Available now MAX adhesive - made in USA, thin / medium / thick with special patented cap in 20g and 50g sizes Ultra Tailwheel - Wire and Leaf style versions in small, medium and large sizes (with limited quantity on hand). b) Available in 60 days MAX adhesive - made in USA, thick foam safe CA in 20g and 50g sizes MAX accelerator for CA c) Availabe in 4-6 months Super Piper Cub - Vero Beach version in yellow Ultracote d) In discussion Clipped Wing Piper Cub - with racing strips in white base Ultracote Blue head engines If you have any suggestion for me, you can email me directly at [email protected] Peace, Steven Chao, CERMARK |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Steven
I would hope you would make the Super Cub available in white so we could add some scale trim. Jim |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I like to do my own finishing and think that ALL arf's from any company should be offered in almost ready to cover version. DP had the S Cub set up that way. It allows for better personalization.

But if what you say is correct can you please reply to the email I sent you 3 days ago regarding a replacement aircraft / parts DPM had promised to send me 2 years ago, which I still haven't received, Mine was damaged in international freight. I hope you will respond and help DPM make amends with one unhappy camper. You can contact me directly on [email protected] Thanks and kind regards, James |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I just purchased a used clipped wing version. It's got a First Place Engines 40cc gas engine on it. 52 oz. Is this too much engine?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
ORIGINAL: flyn_colorado Daniel-EL, Sad to say I have not finished mine yet... Its about 3/4 of the way done... just finished the cockpit last week.... I am way behind! :-) Hope to get her up in the air this spring... Thats my goal anyways! I have been messing around with the Hanger 9 Piper Pawnee latley but back to the DPM Super Cub now! Are you still flying yours? |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I know most of you have long ago finished you Super Cubs, but I finally just completed mine this evening. I purchased this Super Cub not long after they first became available. Through job change, a marriage and a move I finally made the time to get 'er done.
The engine is a YS140, servos are Hitec 645MG and the radio is a JR9303. There were several issues that added to the time needed to complete this Cub, but thanks to companies like Fiberglass Specialties and Aerotech I was able to get on the right track to complete the assembly. I just absoloutely love the plane and understand why this Cub has the following it goes. It's great news about Cermark bringing this Cub back to the market and look forward to seeing the Cub available again. Sure would like to have the CLipped Wing version!! I may attempt the maiden flight tomorrow 6/10 nothing else gets in the way. I did take soome photos this evening and will post them soon.:D Dan |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Dan, it's good to see that I'm not the only slow poke around. I'm just finishing up on my Cub and expect to have it out for photo's this coming weekend. I stripped it down to the bones and did a Koverall and dope finish. Put in nav, strobe, and landing lights. I'm running an OS 1.60 twin FS which I have been breaking in on my big Rascal 110. Floats later this summer when Hangar 9 gets them out.
I hope your maiden flight goes perfect for you. Please let us all know how it goes and don't forget the pics. Mark |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Hi guys, anyone on here have any extra or leftover Rear Struts for the Cub? My kit came with two right rear struts and I'm in need of a Left Rear strut. I can use mine, but the airfoil is backwards and makes it look funkey. Hopefully when Cermark gets them going again, I will be able to get one then.
I already tried to get the jury strut attatchment off and turned over, but it seemed like it had been pinned and spot welded on there. I didn't want to screw up the only strut I have, so decided to leave it alone. Thanks, Mark |

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Looking good, Dan. Should fly like a dream.
Again, good luck on the maiden. Wish I could be there to witness. |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Thought you DP Cub lovers might be interested in this. I emailed Cermark about the Dave Patrick Cub and got the following answer:
We will not be getting DPM for about 3-6 months. I will notify you when they are available. I will put your name and email on the waiting list. Thank you for your interest and we will be keeping in contact. |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I think mine will be going on the block soon. Given up flying.
|
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Wow Bud, that is hard to believe [:o] as I thought you were a model builder for life. If you have health problems, that is another thing that is understandable.
If you actually do sell your Cub and want to separate the floats and rigging, pm me with your price and details as I might be interested. Thanks |

Hey Mark,
I'll keep the float thing in mind, the fittings were built especially for the DPM cub. I see I have competition since H9 came out with 1/4 scale floats that will be a whole lot cheaper than I could sell mine for. I may not be able to sell the plane as I won't ship. Local p/u only. I am a lifetime modeler and health is part of my quitting but I'm going back to my roots of hanging around the Chesapeake bay and building scale boat models of the old oyster boats and crabbing boats I grew up with. Just had sudden burnout and tired of lugging everything heavy to the field at my age. A trip to the Maritime museum at St Michaels Md brought back some memories that makes the modeling switchover easy. I apoligize for a boat picture in a cub forum but this is what it's all about for me. Bud |

Bud
Sorry to see your beautiful airplane works stop. Do you still have your Eindecker for sale? Ric |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Ric,
Sent you a pm Bud |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Bud, I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and have painted many a name on the work boats you speak fondly of. My father was also a sign / truck / boat painter who mastered the art of hand lettering and worked the last 20 years of his life as a self employed painter who lettered just about all the boats from Crifield, MD to Saxis Island, VA all the way down to Cape Charles, VA. He passed on in 1998 but I have carried on his business to this day...only I use computer vinyl for lettering and gave up the brush....it's the modern way now.;) I admire those that can carve the small work boats and make them look scale.
Check out this link.... http://www.makuchalsigns.com/Boats1.htm .....and you'll see some of my work on Delmarva. As far as the Dave Patrick comeback....I think this is great news...and I hope Cermark handles the orders better this time around. I may even place an order when I see that people are starting to get them and say they're as good as ever!:D |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Great website outacontrol41. Sent you a pm

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
FINALLY, FINALLY. FINALLY my Super Cub has flown. Today 6/24 was its' maiden flight. I didn't get any photos of it today at the field but I am one happy Cub owner!! The plane flies great, very little trim adjustments were needed and it looks fantastic in the air.
I have a few things to adjust. The control throws were set as recommended by the instruction book and low rates are a bit sluggish. I need to mix some rudder with ailerons and the engine needs to break in a bit more. I'm currently running a 16 x 8 APC prop and will try one in the 15" range next time out. And lastly, The tail wheel axle shaft lost one of the little c-clips which I will replace with either a speed nut or replace the axle with a machine screw and nylock nut. I can see now why this plane is so well liked. Super smooth in the air, gets a lot of positive comments from other fliers, and it is well built. I now look forward to having a blast flyng this plane frequently and look forward to the time when the clipped wing version is available through Cermark. Dan |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Hey Dan, Congrats on your successful maiden flight. I just put the maiden flight on mine this past friday at a local Big Bird gathering.

I am happy to report that my Cub still looks like these pics after it's maiden flight this past weekend. I balanced level instead of the customary nose down attitude and my elevator is kind of touchy. I set it up according to the book and found myself comfortable with the high rates for normal flying. I haven't yet set up the exponential, but think I might need it on the elevator if changing the CG dosen't help. It might be a tad tail heavy.
I'm running an OS 160 twin fs for power with a Keleo exhaust system. I ripped all that Ultracote off, added a lighting system from Electro Dynamics (EDR117) and then recovered with Sig Koverall. The paint is Randolph butyrate dope applied like the full size counterpart. It took me a while to do, but now I have a drum tight, no wrinkle finish that is easy to maintain. Overall, I am very happy with the results of my labor. |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub

Here are a few more pics.
I made the landing lights by using Maglite reflectors. I had to reinforce behind my cutout in the wing leading edge with plywood. Then the old pop bottle plastic lens after the finish. I also replaced the tail wheel assembly with a medium Sig unit like comes with the Rascal 110. I couldn't get the stock one to work right as it is too short and tight. I'm running the Fromeco lithium ion 2600 battery pack regulated and a Badger switch. You can fly all day on a charge. |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Very nice! Your plane looks like the full scale aircraft. Your work has paid off! :D
|
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Thanks, Outacontrol41. I looked long and hard for a paint scheme on the Airliners.net site and couldn't find anything that turned my crank. I wanted something different than the usual, so I did my own thing. I do have a mixture of ideas from there. I was trying to not have to repaint all the yellow hardware. As it turned out, I just had to do the cowl, flaps and ailerons.
I am anxious to start on my big 1/3 B-USA Super Cub. (winter project) |
RE: Dave Patrick super cub
Nice job on your DPM Super Cub, Mark. I'd like to rip off the ultracote on mine and do some fabric and unique paint scheme sometime too. Maybe this winter.:eek: How's your Keleo headers holding up?
