G'day

I taught a friend to fly using both of those planes. We did it by email and glue. He is about 1000 miles from me. It is not impossible but it is not the best way to go. He did crash the models many times. Much glue was needed and many emails.

I have also taught some others to fly at my club and it is easier and there are far less crashes involved because we use the buddy box system of two linked radios.

And now the real answer. Of the two, I would start with the Radian. It is a glider and it is basically stable in the roll axis. This takes a load off you and makes the plane less likely to crash.

If I remember rightly, the Super Cub had some sort of "crash avoidance system" which my friend found more of a hindrance than a help and which he eventually disconnected.

As for radios, the DX6 is has a 10 model memory. It think the DX5 can only handle one model. This would need you to have a separate DX5 for each plane as you need to change trims and settings for each plane. I would go for the DX6 or a better Spektrum system for these models.

I am happy to email you like I did with my friend if you wish.

Cheers
