With limited funds, no previous flight experience and assuming you have not yet bought the Cub... forget the Cub because a small taildragger is not the best trainer option. There is much better low cost option. The cheapest entry into RC is to buy a HobbyZone Aeroscout S2-1.1m Ready-to-Fly (RTF) trainer. This package costs $200 from Horizon Hobby or Hobbytown and comes complete with a Spektrum DXs transmitter already set up and bound to the receiver. The DXs lists separately for $114, but the difference in price between the Aeroscout as a "Bind and Fly" (BNF) version without the transmitter and the RTF version of the Aeroscout complete with the transmitter is only $20 ($179.99 vs $199.99). True, the Spektrum DXs is an entry level transmitter with no computer or model memory capability and it has limited (and confusing) push button programming that can reverse servo direction. However, the DXs does technically have 7 channels, although one of the channels is the press-and-hold trainer switch button. The DXs is a full range transmitter and takes 4 AA batteries. It also has limited telemetry capability to monitor the voltage status of the battery in the airplane during flight. Once you have learned to fly, then you can buy a 8, 9, or 10 channel computer radio. But for starters, the extra $20 spent for the DXs is a bargain.

The Aeroscout S2 1.1m (1.1 meter wing span) may look like the ugly duckling, but it is by far the best trainer I have flown in over 55 years of RC flying. Period. I bought one for my club to use as a trainer for new students and ended up flying it more than I do some of my much larger gasoline planes. It flies well in 15-20 mph winds with its full-time AS3X stability system which is built into the Spektrum receiver. It has tricycle landing gear with large wheels that work extremely well on grass runways mowed to 2" or less. It has a pusher motor/propeller that is protected from hard landings... this will save you multiple propellers and several bent motor shafts during the learning process. It has the SAFE mode training system built into the transmitter and receiver, including a panic button on the transmitter that will automatically upright the airplane to level flight from any out of control attitude. When in the full control mode, the Aeroscout can perform the entire Novice pattern aerobatic routines, including consecutive outside loops and climbing knife edge flight. The DXs transmitter can be easily bound to any wireless-trainer capable Spektrum transmitter to allow the DXs to serve as a "Buddy box" for dual instruction training. The only additional items you would need to purchase are a LiPo battery charger and a 3S-2200 mah LiPo battery with an EC3 connector. You would need to fly at a club with a Federally Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) to avoid having to add a FAA mandated remote identification transmitter module, but then, you should be flying with a club anyway to have access to a flight instructor. Do not try to learn to fly on your own without an instructor helping you, as most attempts at self-training end very badly... and I've seen it happen way too many times.
