Instead of an "orientation trainer" such as the cub, look at some of the alternatives.

Without ailerons, you'll be quite limited, and what you pick up will not translate well to other planes.

A plane such as [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNXV2&P=0]THIS CLICK ME![/link] for the same price after discounts, starts you off with a 4 channel TX, and the addition of a single servo buys you full aileron controls at no other cost.

There are also many other alternatives.


Your best bet is to look for a local club, as most will offer free training sessions.

Often you can even use a club trainer, saving you the expense of a starter plane, and permitting you to graduate more quickly up to regular RC planes.
