Yes you can most of the time for most good name brands distributed in North America.

What is the name of the plane?

There are only a couple of foam DHC-2 Beaver kits I know of.

Hobbycity DHC-2 Beaver:

Parts are not available for this plane so your only choice is to buy another.

GWS Beaver:

Spare parts are available. Although it's much easier sometimes to just buy a new plane.

Caliber Hobby (USA) sells individual GWS Beaver parts:

Check out Hobby Hobbys site. I know they have all the parts for a Super Cub, and they mail order. 905-858-7978. See if James is available, but anyone will help you.

Re: Can you get styrofome fusealeges at hobby stores

The OP wants to reuse the power system from his old plane. Apparently it's a DHC-2 Beaver made from styrofoam (see post #3). Of the Beaver foamies I know of (see my earlier post), none of them would have a power system big enough to fly a HZ Super Cub.

I would like to see the OP respond about which plane he has.


Unless we know what he has, it's impossible to recommend something to replace it.

Is it a GWS Styrofoam Beaver? You can get it and any parts at any hobby shop if you ask.
