jester s1 is dead on 100% correct. In fact, to be a bit more blunt...A SCALE MODEL PIPER CUB IS NOT A TRAINER PLANE. I am referring to a built up balsa wood scale or near scale model like you are building (either glow/gas or electric) not the RTF foamies that weigh nothing, are not scale correct having had all the quirks removed, and have an on board pilot assist system. My dog can fly one of those. Build the Kadet Senior as a taildragger and when you are really good flying it then you can transition to the Cub. Fly the Kadet first, then the Cub and you won't be sorry. And BTY a Kadet is a fun airplane to fly. Enjoy.....
