Dave Patrick Models
Hey, Anyone have any idea what's up with Dave Patrick Models. Won't answer the phone, just has a recording no matter when I call. Will not respond to Fax's either. Called one time and line was disconnected. Called next day it was back up. ?????? Thanks, Moniman

RE: Dave Patrick Models
You might check over on R/cScale forum. I think he is helping out Frank Tiano Models with some engineering. Seems like I remember reading that on the forum.

That is too bad that he has not only ruined his customer base but to sell substandard product on top of it.....

RE: Dave Patrick Models
Here's some more bad news, I ordered a Dave Patrick Models Blue Head 1.80 Glow motor in June. It's now December and I still Haven't got it. They weren't answering the phone for 3 weeks and when I finally get thru to Sandy she has no idea when the motor will be in stock. I thought DPM was a better company than that. makes me cautious about after sale service on the motor if it's ever needed. I am building a Team Duster 100" Air Tractor and Hollis Calvert is pretty specific that this is the motor for the plane. Does anyone have any idea where I could get one of these motors?? Any help would be appreciated!!

RE: Dave Patrick Models
Jeff248,
I'm sure that a Moki or Mark 1.80 would work as well for your application as the DPM Blue Head engine. The only significant difference is in the compression ratio allowing 15% nitro fuel in the Blue Head engine whereas the Moki and Mark engines run on fuels with 0% to 5% nitro. Frankly, 15% nitro fuel is more expensive so the DPM engine can be a tad more expensive to operate. You should be able to locate a good Moki or Mark engine on the RCU Marketplace or on eBay.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
