I certainly wouldn't argue against spending a little more and learning to fly on the Multiplex Easy Star RTF:

This airplane has an excellent reputation and comes bundled with higher quality electronics than the Hobbyzone Super Cub RTF, including a 72mhz FM radio system instead of the Super Cub's 27Mhz FM system.

There are certainly other choices of which to take note. The Parkzone Slo-V is an excellent first airplane that can be flown in a gymnasium when weather prevents outdoor flight, despite it's almost 4' wingspan. The GWS Slow Stick ARF can be built very affordably or outfitted with the latest brushless power upgrades and can be flown indoors or outdoors as well.

An aspiring RC pilot would also do well to consider the T-Hawk or Skyseeker GT RTF packages available from www.readytoflyfun.com. I've seen the T-Hawk flown quite confidently by students at the local field, and it seems to be a good, solid value.

There are a lot of good choices for pilots interested in getting their first plane. The problem is there are also plenty of not-so-good choices out there, and you can spend far too much money figuring out the difference if you don't do your homework first!
