If you want to learn or teach orientation a Hobbyzone SuperCub is MERELY "OK"...

If you want to learn or teach someone how to FLY get a 4 channel trainer instead.

The Cub is repleat with problems that a beginner should not be saddled with...

Including but not limtied to:

- ATC which does more harm than good.
- Overly light airframe, cannot handle winds well.
- Lack of Ailerons, users end up spending more to upgrade
- Relatively high priced replacement parts ( cost out a new foam fuselage, that much for FOAM? )
- TX doesn't lend itself to 4CH.
- Small wheels, no good on grass

There are other beginner electrics on the market which may be better suited.
