The Super Cub is one of the best planes for a beginner to learn to fly RC. It is very stable and slow enough for you to get your flying skills withou fear of flying it. I learned on the SC and recently modified it to have ailerons. You can fly it with the 8 cell battery (Park Zone 1023) that gives it more speed. This winter I will modify it further with a more powerful electric engine and Li - Po batteries. There is an entire set of forum threads on RC Universe devoted to the SC. You will find RC Universe to be a wonderful place to get info and help. You can't go wrong with the SC. Good luck with your flying, Gene
