I have a Firebird Freedom and I think this is also a great plane. I haven't flown the super cub so I can't compare the two. The Freedom flies great and can handle some light wind. I like to get mine up really high and cut the throttle to just float around. I land in the grass and I found it better to take the langing gear off. Belly landings are smooth but when landing with the wheels on it tended to nose over. I believe they now have a Freedom with ailerons out. I am not sure of the name of the plane but you might want to look at it.
