I love Cubs, but you do have to have a solid foundation in your piloting abilities to enjoy one. They get tossed around by moderate winds quite a bit, so if you are still expecting the plane to right itself like a trainer you'll be in for some surprises. The biggest challenge with them is ground handling, because they are not forgiving of the landing gear not being straight. If you get everything right, you'll find that you need some right rudder as you advance the throttle before making a smooth acceleration down the runway and a touch of right rudder as you rotate to takeoff. If you get it wrong, you'll find that that plane does the hungry bee waggle dance all the way to the scene of the high speed ground loop and subsequent cartwheel crash. Many a new Cub with scuffed wingtips has been sold for pennies on the dollar at swap meets because its owner didn't take the time to get the LG right. 4 Stars, Ugly Sticks and other pilot friendly sport planes are much more tolerant of a bad undercarriage setup, so most of us don't learn the importance of it for scale planes until we've been flying quite a while.
