Things like the Super Cub and the like are an inexpessive way to get started in what can be a very expensive hobby.

It's sort of like wanting to play golf, so you buy 2 clubs and head out to a $5-a-game-par-3 course. It's not the real thing, but it's close. However, if you want to go to a REAL golf course, you'll need something more than the two clubs you own.

With a Super Cub, you can get airborne for $150. For a "Real" 4-channel glow-powered trainer, you're looking at at least $300 plus another $100 in field equipment.

I dont see myself getting past the $5 a game par 3 and being tickled to be there, but I wanna be sure Im at a course that gives me as much as could be expected while Im there.
