The cub would give you something you could start with NOW.... but it's more of a toy.

However, I'd advise you to put that money aside and save up for something better and larger.

This is not a cheap hobby unfortunately.

If you start out too cheap, you'll actually end up spending far more in the long run.

e.g. purchasing a good radio will save you in the long run as the one radio will be good for many planes.

A larger trainer will be easier to control, permit you to fly in winds, give you FULL control ( including aileron elevator and rudder ) etc.

Even with the small planes you will have to invest in additional battery packs, chargers, etc.... so if you HAVE to buy this kind of stuff, why not get something that may work in other planes as well, which puts you into larger battery packs, etc.

Check out the Electricstar at $199.00 it's a great starter setup, though you'll need to spend an additional $100.00 over that to get out and actually fly it.
