For my own part, I'll see if I have time to do more work on the Cherokee/Warrior, which would be a reasonable alternative starter plane (as would any other trainer, such as the Cessna 150/152, Beech Musketeer, or even Diamond Katana, if anyone is interested in building one of those). The J3 Cub is probably the most famous trainer in history, but the tailwheel ground handling is too hard for most new users to manage.
