I agree, but the Cub is "prone" to tip stalls, especially on take-off when under ground effect.
Respectfully disagree. Cubs are some of the most forgiving aircraft made. Aerobatic aircraft, especially those with high wing loading and symmetrical airfoils, are more prone to tip stall. You'd really have to work at it to make a Cub tip stall.
Hobbyzone makes a very nice electric Super Cub trainer, uses a 3S 1300 ma pack. The radio is 27 mhz though, 2.4 Ghz is the best choice for a modern set-up, then 72 Mhz. It's a foam plane, which do well in light winds.

The Stick-type planes can be set up mild or wild, so you could start with one and grow into it. This is on I have, it's a lot of fun and can be flown in moderate winds easily:

Another nice stick-type:
