with 3+ years flying now, a cub is not a trainer, but will teach you to fly proper, rudder turns and all. They are not boring, they become a cute, slow flying little plane. I have a Sig J3. 70" OS 25 powered, and she flys real scale. Great for slow and low fly bys, and does a real tight loop. I roll it, but that's a neat combo event, of all three control surfaces, and does not really "look" right. Landing, the thing is a kite, to me can be bipe like. I also fly a old Robbe PA-18 Super Cub. 86" wing span, 9 1/2 lbs and OS 120 gemini powered, for glider tug work. That also flys like a dream, I don't use flaps, even on our small runway
