I personally wouldn't recommend it as a 2nd plane. Cubs required a lot of rudder input on the ground during take off and landings in addtion to flying and for coordinated turns. They need to be flown until a complete stop on the ground after landing. The like to act as wind socks and turn into the wind, requiring constant rudder attention. They can get a bit squirrely, pose a challenge, but are a lot of fun to. Not to mention they look great in the air. My opinion.
