If you are trying to learn on your own, the Super Cub is going to be your best bet. Its the easiest to fly and the cheapest to repair and keep flying.
Best bet? Hmmm... hardly.

The above is much cheap, much bigger, easier to upgrade ( see the upgrade videos) , easier to repair ( see the videos ), can accept bigger power systems, flies well in winds, and keeps your interest long after the SuperCub has turned into a pile of debris. It is sold by various vendors.
