I tried posting earlier but apparently it didn't work... well i guess
i will try this again...

I am a newbie looking to buy my first plane... i wanna go with a Park
Flyer i guess thats what it is?? Something like the Parkzone J-3
Cub... thats what i saw at the hobbie shop because it acually looking
like a plane and then there was this other one... Called the Super
Aviator... which looked good too.. I am looking for something that
will take off from the ground and has 3 channel radio and basically
has a good rep for flying well for beginners... ummmm so if you guys
think these are good choices or have any better ones that you would
like to suggest that would be greatly appriciated... and also any
other advice.

I would not go for a Cub as a first plane. A cub is not a beginner plane. I
would look at something like the Aerobird or Firebird or similar. Search
around the net for those.
A good source might be found here:

We had a guy show up at the field with one of these so I got a chance to fly
it for him to check it out. It looks to be a good beginner plane in my
opinion. All the parts are replaceable and can be purchased.
I would wait on the cub!

I disagree the cup is a good starterplane .
with a high wing in v shape.

A friend of mine just started with a robbe cardinal. Its basicly the same
just bigger.

I have never flown a cub but all the experts (experienced flyers) seem to
agree that it is very easy to tip stall and is not for beginners. High wing
with dihedral doesnt neccesarilly (yeah, I cant spell...) make a trainer.
My $.02 of course.

Couldn't agree more! Other than the little foamy electric cubs, they are NOT
a beginner airplane. I consider them one of the more difficult planes to
fly. I have been flying R/C for 40 years and have flown everything there is
I think. The Cub is my LEAST favorite airplane.

Other than the foamie park flyers, a Cub is definately not a beginners
plane. It will tip stall in a heartbeat, and a good no-bounce
landing with a Cub is a very difficult thing to do. Just my opinion
of course.
