You will hear it over and over in this forum that you have to find someone to work with you to assist getting you up and flying. that would be my first reccomendation. Regarding the plane selection, Yes, I think that the Hobby Zone cub is an o.k. choice to start with. It gives you all you need to get in the air and won't set you back to bad.
Please take the time to read some of the begginner enties recently posted frome those who received X-Mass gifts and thought they could fly on thier own. Long story short..find someone to help out.
have a ball and welcome to this great hobby!
