Default Nice but cheap trainer please help

OK my problem is i got a piper cub and bought everything for it radio engine and servos.I figured it would be an OK trainer since I all ready have some two channel experence.Well since i got everything built and installed I figured I would go to the LHS " local hobby store" and get some fuel to break in the engine and start it up.But when I went to pay for the fuel I got talking to the clerk and told him it was my first plane. He said that pipers were nasty planes and had horrible handeling.Then he motioned me over to the hobbyco NEXTSTAR. I noticed that it was the most expencive trainer their and told me to buy it.

I guess what I am trying to ask is Does the piper cub have nasty caricterisics and is it a bad trainer.If so since I allready have invested alot of $$$ in my piper my "hobby alowece is a liitle low" if you know what I mean then is their another fairly cheap trainer but still of good Quality out their? If so please tell I could really use some help right now.

Sorry 4 the spelling in a hurry[sm=thumbup.gif]
