I have the Airhogs plane and it is completely different from flying a real R/C plane. I think you will be fine going straight into the SuperCub if you have decent hand/eye coordination. I learned on a parkzone decathlon. I crashed it on my first flight b/c I didn't check the control rates/trim before I flew. But after that is was cake. I am willing to bet the cub is the sameway. Just have an extra prop, tail and wing on hand and don't be mad if the first flight isn't good, but the three channel planes are easy to fly. Good luck and get ready to have a very time/money consuming hobby. But worth every minute and penny, not matter what parent/girlfriend/wife or who ever may say!!
