Just for fun. I'm just looking for good plane to fly, and I see that the Apprentice is very popular. It being powerful and stable plane with a simplistic design appeals. So the Apprentice is just one of the planes in my consideration.

But I'm glad to see you progressing by yourself. That Sport Cub is a nice flying plane, but you are right that it does get tossed around by the wind a lot. If you are flying it competently though, I wouldn't get an Apprentice. Go with a sport type plane and have yourself a great time.
And yeah, you're bringing in good points. Once I get settled into my next place, I'll start looking for clubs around that area.
And which sports-type planes do you recommend?
