hi steve;
built the 1/3 scale PUP back in 1980...still have and still fly.
built 7 of their 1/4 scale cub,s for my self and others..still have and fly on floats and land.

used one of their 1/4 scale cubs to set canada endurance record back in 1982,in kelowna BC...
13 hrs and 20 minutes..41 lbs full of fuel..
landed with 6 lbs of fuel left..lots of time left..
but high winds..storm..pitch black..

their kits "take a licking and keep on ticking"
