i still say the e starter is the better plane it flies much better than the cub and has ailerons which in my view is a must!!.the ailerons give much better controll and you can even do decent rolls and inverted flight which you cant do with the cub .the e starter is a 4 channel plane rudder elevator ailerons and throttle!!.it costs $186 from gws themselves but you might get a cheaper deal just look arround.ive heard bad things about the park zone cub and its too expensive for 3 channels.as ive also stated theres lots of war birds you can move all the electrics and motor into when your ready!!.thats my advice anyway but its up to you.theres some videos of the e starter to look at ill try and find you a link for them!!.
