Hello everybody!
I am looking at the Parkzone series of planes as a 2nd plane to fly with my Aerobird Challenger. I am very proficent at this plane and would like to try a scale looking plane. My question is that is the J-3 Cub or Super Decathlon better for a 2nd plane? Or are they the same? Any advice will be very much appreciated
Thanks!

The Cub would make a better "second" plane, just on the surface. Decathlons are aerobatic planes in full scale, and the scale models I've seen can be twitchy and difficult to fly. While this one may be "dumbed down" with elevator/rudder control, I would still shy away from it until a more experienced pilot can confirm its flying qualities. I have heard favorable reports on the Cub.
