I, too, started out with a Super Cub, in January of this year. After about a month, I found an instructor, and he put together my first nitro trainer. By the time he had the trainer ready, I was able to solo it on the first day....and I credit that to the stick time I spent on the Cub. I now own 10 planes (H-9 Cub, GP Reactor, H9 Frenzy, GP Giant Super Sportster, Nitromodels AT-6 Texan 160, H-9 Hellcat, H-9 Fokker DVII, Sig P-51, GP Matt Chapman Cap 580, and a Top Flite Cessna 310) and I am able to fly them all. My point is, the Super Cub is not such a bad plane to start out with.
