Default RE: f-27 (not f-27c) as a first plane?

There are MANY alternatives to the 3CH cub that may be better suited for you as a trainer.

Check the other thread where I've been accused of "bashing" the cub as a trainer, where you can find links to some better alternatives.

There are also 3ch planes that can start out with 3ch and come already set up so that you can easily add aileron control later, if you want to take this route.

However remember that most non-delta winged RC planes feature aileron controls, so a 3ch starter is not going to teach you to fly well. At the worst a plane that is already set up for the conversion, may be a better choice.
