True, a Super Cub won't handle much wind but that's the compromise you make sometimes for flying on your own in a small area. The OP should definitely consider a club and an instructor if he goes with a traditional .40 size trainer though. The Super Cub is built to be flown by a novice and ditched in the grass multiple times, while the balsa trainer is meant to be flown properly and to perform better, which also means it will let you crash it more easily.
