Hi Matt,
Where do you fly near Andover? I once lived in Sparta near Lake Mohawk. I used to fly full scale out of the Aeroflex and Trinca airports. I still get up there once in awhile to visit my Aunt.

I fly both a GWS cub and an assortment of glow planes. I find the Cub way underpowered compared to the glow planes. They are different enough that I would recommend to be safe you find an instructor with a buddy box setup for your first flight.
