Many club training programs will not let newbies start out with foam or balsa Supercubs.

Cubs can fly very slowly, but newbies tend to have a problem with the tail dragger aspect of it. They also tend to nose them in on the ground.

In addition these planes can blow away in a fairly light wind, even if they are not weathervaning into the prevailing breeze.

Stick with a more traditional trainer instead.
