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.

PRODUCT REVIEW: RC PLANE STANDS BENCHTOP MODEL
I’m a sucker for shop stuff. I buy tools I will probably never use just because they are cool, or I might need to use them someday. When Glen from RC Plane Stands reached out about a review, however, I knew as soon as I browsed their website that I would be receiving something I would use a lot, maybe even daily.
