I'm very sorry to hear that Bud has passed. I bought a Pilot 1/4 scale Decathlon from him a few years back when I lived in Maryland just down the road from him. What an amazing scale model builder. He'll be missed.

talked to bud several times on this plane and his was the best, I not sure he ever got it in the air , bud sold it later and some one got a great a plane, I will miss bud .

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Mr. Chao,

If I could make one suggestion regarding a revision to the earlier DPM Clipped Wing Super Cub, it would be to reinvent the process in which the wheel pants attach to the landing gear. Once the attachments break, there is no easy way to reattach them. I know they are not necessarily needed but they sure look nice. I tried to JB weld them but that would quick break so I just removed them and replaced the thinner wheels with some scale Cub wheel but it did lose some of its cool looks without the pants. Just my two cents. Thanks very much.

Mike

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

We will look into the process of attaching the wheel pants onto the landing gear. You are asking for us to study the longivity and the ability to repair of the attachement on the wheel pants side. I want to make certain that I am clear in understanding. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If you want, you can post pics or shoot us some pics of the problem that you are having. This way we can better prevent. We have to do this fairly quickly, because we are in the final stretch.

Peace,
Steven Chao,

I want to be the flight tester thanks frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi Mike,

I had this problem with mine. I ended up using a Dremel to clean back the joints and use a "Cold Weld" black epoxy that I purchased from my local auto parts shop. I think it's made by Locktite. It set super strong and is a perfect fix.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I mentioned a few weeks back that I was selling mine; well it's now on Ebay. Before you bombard me with emails, I live in Sydney Australia and it costs $1,000+ to ship to the US or Europe. :)

Here are some pics of it.

Some of the additional details include:

Covered in German Oratex fabric

Full aluminum cowling with rivets

Fake scale wing fuel tanks

Screws around all panels

All parts and stripes are painted in a durable car acrylic and clear coated

Fake door and window

Scale interior inc instrument panel, harnesses, headset, throttle levers and more

Scale exterior features, inc grab handles, entry step and tail navigation lights

Scale landing gear and tread tires (Robart)

Scale baggage door that houses on switch and battery charger

cowabunga i must have went to the wrong site , i have 6-7 cubs and 2 on the wish list, might dump all of them and get the BAD BOY,man thanks frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

The SportCub is no where near the caliber of the Dave P Cub. Exposed servos everywhere......come on. Not to mention the outline of the AW S-2 is way off of scale. Now their Cessna 195 is beautiful!!!!!!!!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Update: March 8, 2010, CERMARK will do a preview of the new DPM Super Cub, PA-18, at the 2010, RCX Expo in Pamona, CA. Right now, we will not post any official information on CERMARK website. Please swing by our booth and let us know what you think.

Here is a quick Feb 2010 notes and pics on the DPM Super Cubs: [link=http://www.cermark.com/pdf/Up_Coming_Products_Feb_2010.pdf]CERMARK Up Coming Products February 2010[/link]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Wow Steven, Looks like you have done it. Congratulations on bringing back the finest PA-18/ Cub to ever be marketed anywhere. I'm sure you will reap the benefits. I might have to buy another to just put back. :D
Regards,
Scott

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Looks great. I just gave up buying anymore planes this year as a swap for restoring a classic car; so now I'm torn on what to do. [&:]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

If you have multiple models, do what I do and sell one to try and justify a new one. Works for my wife anyway. It also helps that I am home in the afternoon when the big brown truck comes, and she is still at work teaching :D.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I already do that; justification is the way of life. Only problem is I chose to justify no more planes this year and spend $50K on restoring a car.

I feel naked as my hanger is almost empty. All I have left is what is in the attached photo, plus 1 Electrify Edge 540 and a 1/4 Scale HpH 304CZ glider. To add I'm selling my current DPM clipped wing and my 30% Extra 300L... soon I will have nothing :(

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Don't feel bad. I only have three operating aircraft. Thats all that'l fit in my "hangar". Like the idiot that I am, I agreed to give up half of the garage to my wife and built here an office!

Randy

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Been checking Cermark site often lately, nothing yet but pic and TBA. Been wanting the PA-18 for years. Was on the waiting list with DPM, as many others, when the bottom fell out. Not many of the purchased ones come up for sale either. Any new tidbits of info. would be appreciated Steve!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Uh ..... It would be nice to see this one out again. Really am impressed with the DP one. Never knew about them till they were all gone, and they went fast too. Hope this one is comparable and available soon. I better start "buttering up" the wife for permission to buy one. MM

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Any update on when the Cub will be available.Is it also going to be available in white??[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I've been told the production has been delayed. They are taking pre-orders at $799. Which isn't exactly cheap. I've placed mine but still awaiting a reply on RTC and white versions. I want a RTC.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Im soooooo glad that I have one of the originals. I hope they eventually come out with it again as I will probably want another eventually. Hope they will be the same quality too at least. Just saw that Aerowork lowered the price of the S-2 SportCub to $699, that will figure in the decision to pay an extra $100 bucks for this one.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

As far a scale goes, the Aeroworks Sport Cub does not hold a candle to the Patrick PA-18. No compairson at all. The S-2 is about as scale as a paper airplane. Designed for a 50cc engine, for what, hovering... Ha Ha What a frigging joke. I would'nt take $2000 for my DP PA-18.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

The S-2 Sport Cub was modeled after the full scale S-2 manufacted by Cub Crafters in Yakima, WA. Here is the link to Cub Crafters.  http://www.cubcrafters.com/sportcubs2
The Areoworks rendition looks pretty good to me. It was not supposed to be a model of the PA-18 Super Cub. They even have Cub Crafters blessing on it.
Check it out..........

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Yes your right, it is a fun scale S-2 model, and a very poorly modeled one at that. Thank goodness the PA-18 was not hacked as bad as the S-2 was. Its very obvious that AW designed their model to be a run of the mill 3-D machine, and not a authentic scale S-2 Cub.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi, first post on this thread as ive been reading it off and on to check in on the availability of these fabulous flying birds. Im proud to say i have scored an unmolested kit local, someone was hoarding one in his play room, i found out about it and it is one of the last production runs approx. 2 -3 years ago. will post some pics of the build soon. I am building it into a scale bush plane with huge tires, most likely os or magnum 4 stroke with custom exhaust and maybe an interior. Not my first cub but my first at a scale build. Should have some starting pics by weekend! Oh yeah, still looking for a 160 twin if anyone has one sittin around. thanks D boothe

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Here is a copy of this DPM Super Cub check list. CERMARK has shown the near production version at the recent 2010 AMA Expo. It was a huge relief. CERMARK and DPM like to thank everyone who provided feedbacks and comments. Come by CERMARK booth, email: [email protected], or call (562) 906-0808. Can't promise to have Dave there, but you are more than welcome to ask anything. Production should be available in Oct/Nov 2010.


In production now? [:-]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I saw the video of this plane in action on their website. I must agree with you...it looked like a J-3 Cub on steroids, lots of steroids. It looked downright silly...a cub hovering and doing aerobatics like a decathlon or such. Those guys can't get out of the 3d mode even when flying a scale plane. And by the way, it was flying waaay too fast. I think they're asking too much money if this is supposed to be a fun-fly plane....good hardware or not.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

reply to ALL got dp p-18 and missing some parts , have pm some guys in this mile long post , with no luck does anyone have the manuel to this plane and can you scan it will pay cash thanks frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

YEEEEEEEEE haaaaaaaaaaaaaa found the book, does any one fly like me and crash? will buy parts for cash if you have any laying in your shop, and try to get this great bird in the air, thanks to all frank99

6 yr wait poor back then and got engine and muffler first , then they were back order, then he went under, found a few for sell but no shipping ,to far to drive but i found one and i dont give up, power i will use os 4c 1.6 custom muffler a123 bat, Is hitek 645 servos for control ok, later when glow fuel is 50$ a gallon will change power to a dle 20 gas growing new hair on a dead head

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Sounds like a nice set -up. I have the OS 1.60 twin in mine also as well as the Keleo custom exhaust. The Hitec 645 high torque servos will be fine. They are about 108 oz of torque at 4.8 volts, but your going to run A123's, so your torque will be 133 oz which is more than enough. Have fun with it. Nothing compairs to the DP PA-18. :D

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Keleo custom exhaust is the muffler i got yrs ago hope it holds up and will it make the right sound thanks frank
