Smokin Cap, Where did you get the bush tires for yours?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Most likely they are Dubro 6" smoothies with the cub hubcaps. You can inflate these up quite a bit for the look you want.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Long as I'm on here, what ever has happened to the new DP Super Cub? How about an update from Cermark???

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Check out the new SuperCub from Horizon, a platnum edition 25e offering, the thing that makes this worth mention is the fact that Horizon has a history of producing a model over several size ranges. Maybe a larger 90 or 120 size could be in the works! I suggest we flood them with e-mails demanding one!!!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

^^^

I hope (if they make a bigger one) the bigger one is light. Watch the vid, that little thing is heavy.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Should be simular to their current 1/4 J-3, which is not too bad!!!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I don't think the weight is an issue. If you watch the video the planes flies extremely fast considering it's only a .25

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Heavy equals Fast,for scale performance the 25e should have a wing load a lot less than it's stated 20 to 22 0za square ft. I have there 25e J-3, it's a dog as far as scale flight.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Thier Super Cub landing gear and strut design in the pictures looks a lot like the Aeronca Champ that they released this year. What a piece of junk. The wing struts and LG design is so fragile it will not survive the first landing, just barely survive the assembly. Beautiful airplane, flies great, but dont land it or carry it from the car

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

LOL, you can fly it but don't land or carry it...

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

The Point Is not the shortcommings of the 25e Cub, but the posability of Horizon producing a 1/4 scale varient. That in my opinion would solve the shortage of Super Cub's currently. If you look the 25e Cub's L/G and struts are scaled down versions of there 1/4 J-3, which is the same as the D.P. Might do a 25e with a Saito 40 while I wait! Kind'a like a small fix for the problem.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

need a arf, looking at the e-flite p-18 , my dp p-18 is going ok but the landing gear from the hh 1/4 cub dont fit the dp p-18, fuse is not as wide , may get out the hammer and start bending the gear and yes paint will flake off and IAM NOT GIVING UP , some day it will fly , even if glow fuel goes to 50 $ a gal, thanks frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Frank bolt that gear on &figure out what needs done to make it work, you got something I've been drooling over for the past few years, don't let the L/G stop you from finishing it. The cross brace and outer sliding strut may need cut down a bit, don't bend things up!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Or get some of [link=http://www.cublandinggear.com/]these.[/link]

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

They don't mention that their gear will fit the D. Patrick Cub.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

took a look see and no match , still hanger 9 set will fit with some mods new pic coming thanks frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Have you tried Robart. I swear someone said he makes a matching set...

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

pics servos i am going to use and axels close but no cigar thanks frank

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I copied this of their homepage. "We can custom build a gear for you upon request."
Also, there is an ect at the end of their manufactures list.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I used the same gear on an old H-9 Super cub, we just shortened the shock tubes, and drilled new holes in them. Worked great for us.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

By the looks of the pictures, Frank needs longer tubes than he has there. The fuselage is a bit wider than most. It might be a good idea to call Wm.C. Wallace to see if they can make new tubes for it.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Highly recommend the guys at http://cublandinggear.com , absolutely awsome gear. Mine was ordered "custom" and Tommy did an incredible job. Fits my 1/4 scale Balsa USA Supercub Bushplane and completes the look I was going for. Time to head to Valdez Alaska and show them how to really fly STOL.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Hi,

Anyone know status of Dave Patrick Models Piper PA-18 Super Cub ARF if it will be available again?

/Bo

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Don't count on it. Cermark has come close as anyone to re-releasing it, and thats going back a couple years. Several months ago I emailed them to find out what was going on with it, as their web site stated for the longest time they were looking for a 2010 release or something like that. Anyway, apparently there were some production problems, who knows what the real story is, long and short of it, they've let it go and not pursuing it further. That was my understanding. Like others I was on Dave's list for close to a year or more, and you finally realized it just wasn't going to happen, weren't enough made or whatever. Those that got one from Dave were fortunate indeed.... I think finding one NIB would be a pretty rare event, but I keep looking.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Yes, that's right, not likely to reappear. That's too bad, the plane was the best ARF I have ever made, it was state of the art and still is better than many of the so called premium ARFs out today. I was lucky enough to get one of the originals back in 2004, and I used a OS 160 twin for power. (see some of my earlier posts on this thread for pics) Not only was the design and parts top notch, the instruction book was outstanding as well (and in real english). I am rebuilding mine after an unfortunate nose plant, and I will re-maiden in the next few weeks. I still have to make a new windshield, I am making a plaster mold from the old piece to try to vacuum form the replacement. After so many ARFs, I got to do some real old time balsa butchering to rebuild everything from the wing forward. The OS twin is a perfect match for that airplane, and the sound fits it to a tee. I don't go for the chain saw engine sound, even though glow is $12 more per gallon than gasoline.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Farmerric,

As far as the windshield for your DP Super Cub, give this company a try. He had some at one time, even though it is not listed on their website. The windshiled fit perfect as I have on on my DP Cub and I not long ago referred another DP Cub owner to Aerotech for a windshield as well.

deadstickdan
thanks for the info, Iwill give it a try

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I contacted Aerotech Models about the windshield. They have it and it is very expensive at $45. shipped. But then, it is the only place to get one unless you make your own.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

welcome to the rc hobby...:eek:

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Just completed repairs on a DP Pa 18.A club member had crashed it a few years ago an at that time it had only @ 5 fights on it.It now fly's as a L 21A.( the best of both worlds).As soon as I recieve flight photos I will post

Crazystick

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Looks nice. So, what did you change about it other than putting in the door? Did you recover it with fabric and dope?

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

The wings had very little damage,repaired tips. The nose was broken off,repaired replaced Cowl and windsheld.The damaged area was recovered with utra-coat. It is powered by a CRRC PRO 26R which turns a 18/6 prop.So for it has 7 flights on it since repairs. The best thing was that I got the airframe for only $200

Crazystick

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Oh,I almost forgot,The door was put on to hide the switchs and the fuel dot

Crazystick

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I just noticed today that the damage that the plane had when it crashed extended to the wing strut end.Has anyone seen these struts apart (how the tips are attached?)So for I have @ 50 flights with only flight loads on the air frame!

Thanks Crazystick

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Looks like Horizon put the DP Cub through the copy machine.  http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...age1-_-HAN4540

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

It is on Hangar 9 homepage also:

http://www.hangar-9.com/Products/Def...ProdId=HAN4540

So is it a copy of Dave Patricks Super CUB?

/Bo

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Well now thats interesting!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

I have the Dave P. Cub and it looks the same to me, just a different color. Just my observation.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

My guess is that it is a rework of the H9 J3 1/4 scale Cub design. It would be a lot easier to make a different cowl and add flaps and new trim scheme than to try to copy the DP design. I have both the H9 J3 cub and a DP supercub. I tried to use the canopy from the cub to replace a damaged DP canopy, and it was not a good fit, although useable. The DP fuse is a bit wider and flatter across the cowl area, not arched like the H9 cub. Also, with the wider fuse, the H9 cub Landing gear is not a replacement for the DP cub. I have to hand it to the folks at H9, their platinum ARFS are approaching the quality of design and construction that Dave Patrick had ten years ago. The DP cub is still the best arf I ever assembled, including some from Aeroworks. My DP cub has an OS 160 twin, which is totally enclosed, (see some of my earlier posts way back in this thread). It flys like the H9 ad, which uses a Saito 180 twin. I would expect that this ARF would make a great airplane. Its probably as close as we will ever get to a reissued DP cub.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub
 

Well, this may explain why Cermark didn't go through with bringing the DP Super Cub back. They had originally planned to do so but that project was dropped. It would make sense, especially if they may have been using the same factory to have the plane built. This one from Hanger 9 looks very good and while I swore up and down I wouldn't own another 1/4 scale Super Cub ( I have the DP Super Cub and a Dynaflite Super Cub) I might change my mind. I have a spare YS140 so..............
