Mr67Stang,

Thanks for looking all of those up for me! In your opinion would the electric super cub be a good plane to start with? Also, is it a good deal?

Thanks,

Travis

No problem. I was on some down time and have had lots of practice searching CL for deals. A new Super Cub is $200. So $130 is not bad. $100 would be better. If your going to go it alone, the super cub would likely be your best bet (out of the planes I listed). You will end up spending more ordering replacement parts for the Super Cub than if you went with a more traditional nitro trainer and an instructor. If you want to go it alone, get a simulator. I saw one of those in your area while I was searching as well. here:
