Woody,
It doesn't get much easier than the good ol' Cub !! If you are still a little uncomfortable checking out a new plane, have one of your better flyers in the club do it for you. It's always good to have a second set of eyes look at your newest pride and joy and an experienced flyer can often times save it if there is a problem.
We have a few guys who LOVE to see how slow and scale-like they can take off and fly these things. Ever seen a Cub fly BACKWARDS ? :surprised

Enjoy.....
