I LOVE Piper Cubs!Can be build basic, or made to look just as scale as any scale winner - It is also easy to fly, unlike some other scale aircraft.For a beginner, who wants to try scale, the Cub is a perfect first scale model. I also love the colour! The Carl Goldberg Anniversary model was my first try at scale, and was (still is) great fun! It can fly like a trainer, but ismore aerobatic. Long live the Cub!
