I actually learned to fly a Carl Goldburg Kit Cub as my first plane. I spent many, many hours on a flight simulator program, and still almost totaled the cub on several of the first flights. Take everyone's advice and don't learn on a cub, unless you have an instructor with a buddy box and lots of time. A cub is very rewarding in the end, but probably not the best place to start. Good luck with whatever path you choose.
