RE: New to flying. Recommendations?
Well, I would recommend spending the little extra to get the RTF full-size Super Cub. It's bigger and has more power, so it's going to behave better, it's going to handle more wind, and it's going to give you a better feel for the average, 'full-size' ParkZome plane. Just a much better first plane foundation IMO.
As I said, I never used the ATC feature, since everyone I talked to said it did no good. What I've read/heard is that it easily gets 'confused' and will take over control to try and 'correct' the flight path when it's not necessary. Honestly, with the Super Cub, so long as you're flying normally and have enough altitude, letting go of the stick completely will result in the plane self-correcting and leveling out; it's a product of the dihedral wing.
