Well I bought a HobbyZone Aerobird 3 as my first plane. When I got home I found that the X-port button was broken. Took it back to the hobby shop the next morning. That was 5/7/07. The LHS ordered a replacement TX but it has not yet come in. I tied to get my money back on the Aerobird but they only do in-store credit. I was looking around the LHS and they have a HobbyZone Super Cub RTF that is on the channel I need to fly with my buddy. So here's my question. Between the Aerobird 3 and the Super Cub which would be better for me to learn on and take me to the next level of RC planes? If the Super Cub would be better suited for me then I'm thinking of paying the difference and getting the Super Cub. Just FYI, I have RC helicopter flying experience if that helps. Thanks!
