2Slow-- I like the Rascal a bit more than the Cub. I just like the way the Rascal looks (kinda Cubish) and flys. Pretty much everyone has a Cub -- there are 3 or 4 at the field I fly at. The Rascal is not scale so people don't ask why you didn't put the correct landing gear etc -- The Cub has a OS 46 AX in it - of course people beat me up because it is not a 4 stroke. Since the Cub was a kit there is not the instant gratification of an ARF. I think you would be happier with the Rascal any day. Plus if you do the Cub with a 4 stroke, fancy undercarriage, Cub wheels -- it can get pretty pricey. I have ordered another kit that I am excited about -- it is the BTE enterprises Flyin King. It is pretty large high wing, trike or optional tail wheel also has flaps to play with and since Bruce used to design at Sig it should be well engineered-- it is kinda on the ugly side but loveable. Check it out at http://www.btemodels.com/flyin_king.html It is currently out of production but Bruce said it will be available in the next 30-60 days.I am going to try to do some aerial photography with it. Anyway back to your decision:

Rascal is -- Better looking, flys better, than a Cub (imho)-- Sig quality -- the covering job is beautiful -- Only down side is mounting the inverted engine in a confined space -- but when complete looks awesome

Cub is -- Just Another Cub hmm new accronym (JAC)

OK -- it 3:00am must get sleep need to stay awake at work in the AM

Good luck
