Janet,
I think the Wattage Cub would be fine, but that radio equipment will be inadequate very quickly.

If you can buy the Cub alone, then the radio stuff seperately, that's the way I'd go.

Here's a link to the GWS Cub I mentioned. Which is nearly identical to the Wattage Cub I believe. (GWS may even make them for Wattage.)

This is a link to what I think should be your minimum radio equipment. It's a Hitec non-computer, 4 channel set up with 2 Micro servos and a micro receiver (Rx). I would ask when ordering if it's a "Feather" Rx. If it is, ask how much to get the 555 Rx instead. (The Feather is single conversion and prone to interference.)

If you can afford a bit more get this one with HS-55 servos and 555 Rx. (It's actually going to cost more with the micro servos and Rx though.)

You'd still need a battery pack or two. (The one that comes with the Rx won't work for a flight pack.) You'll also need an ESC, but get a slightly bigger one than recommended for the Cub so it's usable in other planes.

Okay, if you need/want more, let us know.
