| Jeez.... Come on guys. It depends on the Cub in question. The Sig scale Cubs fly better than most any ARF trainer. 
"Is a Cub easy to fly". What loaded question. There are way to many variables to make such a blanket statement. My answer would be. "In general, yes. If the kit is at least close to scale, put together correctly, built light and straight, a Cub is easy to fly".
Extremeflying,
I think I know what .25-.28 size Cub ARF kit that guy was talking about. Unfortunately, it is not a good example of the Cub. It is heavy for its size (bad wing loading), has bad decalage (wing, fuse, tail incidence relationship) and is known to have warpped wings. So in this case, this Cub is a bad flyer.

it hung on the prop for about 5 sec and then nosed it. As he was carrying it back to re start I commented that there was a track "Way over there" 
. He then climbed up to about 400 feet and an did some sloppy maneuvers ending in a pull out where the wing parted company and majestically fluttered down the rest came down like a missile and disintegrated at the other end of the field. when he brought it back there wasn't any pieces bigger than your hand 
bummer lol
