Keep in mind, the Apprentice is not designed as a teach-yourself-to-fly airplane, it's designed to be flown with an instructor. The Apprentice also needs a LOT of room to fly (think 6 or 7 football fields). The Super Cub is a teach-yourself-to-fly airplane and can be flown in a much smaller area. I would highly recommend going with the Super Cub over the Apprentice if you are teaching yourself to fly. The Apprentice is much more aerobatic than the Super Cub and is not really designed to be flown in an elevator/rudder configuration.
