Yes, an Apprentice would be much easier to fly then the Sport Cub. I once had one of the UMX P-51 airplanes and found it quite a challenge to fly. It wasn't that it was difficult, it just wouldn't hold a line and that increased the pilot workload. A biginner has a tough enough time with planned control inputs let alone a multitude of correction inputs. I have followed you threads for a while now, a good plan of action would be to invest in the Apprentice and a club membership. It appears you are trying to learn to fly without any basic aeronautics knowledge. Having that knowledge would make the process easier. A good club instructor will not only teach you the mechanics of flying but should also teach you the how and why.
