Would the super cub be a little sturdier, but still be a good aircraft to learn on?
No.
While these are often recommended for the first timer, IMHO these are poor trainers for many reasons.
They have no aileron control, so you will not gain anything with the Supercub over what you have already flown.
They are very light and do not fare well in any winds. Repairs are relatively expensive, given that you are paying for pieces of inexpensive foam.
The provided battery pack is inadecuate, and you'll end up purchasing multiple packs to fly with.
The TX is fairly low end, and does not transfer well to better planes.
The Cub does not land well on grass and tends to nose over.
It will merely teach you orientation, and not how to fly an RC plane...
etc., etc. etc.
In many respects a standard glow trainer is both easier and sturdier to learn on.
A novice can land them fairly easily by aligning the plane with the intended runway, chopping the throttle and just holding a little up elevator.
They are larger, easier to see, fair better in wind, can be refueled quickly, are easy to repair, their components can be transferred to other planes, etc.
They can also be buddy boxed for your initial flights.
Purchase a trainer included in RCKen's list...
Find yourself an instructor to help get you set up and started, and after a few sessions you'll be flying on your own, especially since you already have some experience.
