My son has a couple of other planes the Chalenger and the firebire ( a 2 channel) he got the HZ Supper Cub for christmass. He loves to fly it. It flies well, he can taxi it, and it can take a lot of abuse. He hit the soccor goal upright with his wing while landing and you can not realy see any damage. Latter on he did destroy his prop. Always take a spare prop or two. The plane handles well, and it looks great flying. My son thinks it is the best trainer that you can get (his words not mine).
The only problem that you might have is getting your hands on one, they sell very well. Also make sure that the local RC store carries spare parts. If they do not order several props, a wing, and a tail.
It can take a beating but things do get damaged and you will not want to wait long for repairs. The Props for the supper cub are the same ones that are used on the Mustang, and the FW 190.
