RE: hobbyzone vs eflite?
Well alot of people go with the super cub for self teaching. I can't say much for the super cub because I have not owned it however I have tought myself to fly with the Eflite apprentice.
Are you self teaching or going to a club?
If you are going to a club I would defenetly say Apprentice because you have ailerons and a great radio system to use when you progress also it has reasonable basic aerobatic ability , plenty of power and lands perfect.
If you are self teaching then I still say the apprentice because it took one hell of a beating from me and still kept going. the landing gear is fantastic I stalled from about 20ft in the air right onto the mains and it didn't affect it and all the landings after that were greasers. also it takes wind pritty well.
If you have the option GO TO A CLUB! I cannot stress this enough you will learn so much more and you will most likely keep you cool bird in 1 piece.
If you go the Apprentice Order an extra Cowl, eng mount and spinner it will save you alot of down time.
any questions about the Apprentice just PM me!
