Default Cub As a trainer

Hi,

I am looking to get into RC planes (for the second time, after a failed attempt a few years back due to a agricultural disease problem)

Anywhoo, the first time round, I got a ripmax trainer, which never flew, it just didnt inspire me!! I really want something that looks like a real plane. Now Im not talking Yaks or anything, but as a trainer form a grass strip, would a 67inch span Piper Cub be ok? I think its the tail dragging look that I really like!!

I have the engine (Irvine 46,) a 6 and a 4 channel Futaba radio so the plabe would be the last part to get (besides the obvious bits and bobs!!)

My goal is to be able to fly a decathlon (see the trend in the look of plane I like??)

any opinions more than welcome!!

Ben
