Well the PZ J-3 has been said to be OK for beginners, I have a Shun Da cub and it is not for begginers so I tend to shy away from suggesting them for a first plane, the J-3 is small at 39" WS so it's easy to travel with, the super cub is much bigger and made of EPP foam, this means it can take a beating and keep flying, not so with the PZ cub, but bigger can be a problem with transportation. Oh and the multiplex plane is a easy star not wind star. if you have good coordination on the sticks I think you would be OK with the PZ cub and it can be upgrated to brushless down the road If it were me and I had the room I would go with the super cub. in fact I'm seriously thinking about passing my cub on and getting the super cub, I like the bigger planes
