I've wanted to try out a Cub for quite some time. I was talking to one of the guys at my club and another guy got his Cub out to fly it. I told the guy I was talking to that I'd been looking at Cubs and was thinking of getting one. He told me that if I wanted one, he had one. It was an old Goldberg kit with clipped wings and done up in a military scheme. I bought it and put a Saito 72 in it. I love the way that it flies but like some of the guys here have said, if it goes too far, you'll know it. this thing will snap like nobody's business. I did some twisting (deliberately) in the air and when it hit the point of no return, it wouldn't listen to anything I asked it to do until it got some airspeed again. Then, it was back to being a *****cat. Really a wierd situation. The guy I bought it from said that it would do that but until I saw the ugly side of a Cub, I couldn't have imagined it.

I think you could learn on a Cub so long as you don't do ANYTHING but calm flight. If you get scared and start jerking it around, it'll bite you and I think that is what separates a Cub from a "trainer". My .02.
