Cool! I've never been up in a Cub!
I've been up in an Auster though, a little heavier, but about the same size, that was one of the best flights of my life! 8)

Here's a tip: start with the Cub, if you can. It's much more basic, and everything will make more sense. And it has a stick. Grin
Not to knock the 150, though: also an excellent mount for a first(?) flight.

Enjoy! Smiley
Just make sure to be gentle on the controls, and dont forget to use rudder. And since you're flying VFR, keep a good look out for other traffic.  Smiley
