bryris - i just want to say that people that responded to the post were trying to help. its just that they thought you hadn't made up your mind yet. but in rereading your original post, it's clear that you weren't really asking if we recommended it but rather what we thought of it. in fact, you probably already ordered it!

but more importantly, the cub. while i understand the love of your trainer, i am concerned about the way you are approaching the cub. while it is true that it may be less expensive that your other plane, please be careful with it all the same. it is still a deadly weapon if you can't fly it. i know there will be a great temptation to fly without the buddy box and i'm sure you will within a few times. just remember, unless you can crash it where you want to (then you just shouldn't have!) a crash can hurt more than just your plane.

i love cubs and have the same size cub in a WM Cub .26, which is really the best looking small cub i've seen.

1. be gentle with the throttle, nailing it could send you into loop
2. use elevator on taxi and slow roll, looping thing again
3. take off into the wind as much as possible, ground looping thing again
4. be ready with the rudder, ground looping again
5. ...AND elevator (depending on how much downthrust you have on your cub), your prop could come on the asphalt
6. learn to coordinate turns
7. land as much into the wind as possible
8. taxi with the elevator up

the global version is decent though the landing gear isn't too scale. this is mine...
