Here's some more food for thought. I know you said earlier you wanted to build a trainer from a kit, but you may want to consider an ARF. I fly both ARFs and kits. Each has their value. I get alot of satisfaction from flying kit built planes, but I also have fun with ARFs. My ARFs actually get flown more often than the kit built planes, I consider them a bit more utilitarian, and a bit more expendable. If you get an ARF to learn with you can begin your training soon. Depending on how much free time you have, it could be with a week or two of receiving the plane. You will also spend less money on an ARF. Going the ARF route will significantly shorten the time till you can fly that Cub.
