Seagull Models has decided to throw their hat in the Cub appreciation ring with this 102-inch-span RC Savage Shock Cub designed for 35cc to 55cc gas engines or electric equivalents. Available in two color options, silver and black or yellow and black, this all-balsa and plywood airplane features many of the same amenities as its full size-counterpart: leading-edge slots, shock-absorbing landing gear, and even load-bearing wing and tail bracings. Add to that a semi-complete interior with functional side door and you have a surprisingly detailed ARF model.
UNIQUE FEATURES
The kit includes re-usable bubble protection bags for the wings. Each wing panel is quite big, so this is a significant freebie. Ailerons and flap control surfaces are pre-installed and their hinges already glued where needed.

TOP GUN FAVORITE MARK CHAPMAN'S 1/3-SCALE ALBATROS D.VA
When I told Model Airplane News executive editor Debra Cleghorn that I was attending the Top Gun Scale Invitational for the first time, she asked me if I would interview the pilot of one of my favorite planes at the event. As a WW I fan (and a Balsa USA builder), I chose Mark Chapman’s beautifully detailed 1/3-scale Balsa USA Albatros D.Va, flown by Marvin Alvarez in Team Scale.
