Default Big Trainers

I would say sell the CUB ... and Get a Decathlon or a Citabria Pro!

Both have great trainer like characteristics ... especially when it comes to landing ... both have 80" wingspans ...

Goldberg's Decatholon is an ARF ... Balsa USA's is a Build-Up.

What makes these so great ... cuase once you learn to fly ... they can be setup to be quite more fun aerobatically. And they are much better looking!

Yes I am biased ... Cubs are clark Y airfoils .... and do not fly great inverted!

and my "pro" will knive edge, hover (with the right pilot on the sticks) but you can walk it in for a landing when you done being crazy and add to the fact it floats like a glider ... well a heavy glider ....
