While the cub is a decent choice, you can have issues with the wing incidence and might not be a beginner friendly build, not hard, but not super easy.
The mini scout would be an easy build, but is a tad harder to fly. Most of the minis tend to be a bit more squirrelly. If you stay light and fly in light to no wind it would be ok.
Now, the tiny trainer, is easy to build, will grow with you as you learn (ie 3 channel to 4 channel), Uses smaller cheaper electronics like the scout, and very forgiving in the sky. The 3 channel TT flys really good, keep it light and it's possible to catch thermals with it. Able to fly in light wind. Adding the 4 channel wing allows you to learn 'bank n yank' style flying opening the door for pretty much any FT model.
Add in a few mods like reinforcing BBQ skewer holes and sealing your exposed edges with hot glue and it'll last you a long time too. (Baring any catastrophic crashes lol)
There are other begginer style planes out there like the Explorer or the Storch or the full size Scout, but these all use bigger electronics and are a tad harder to build, and for begginers, harder to repair. Lol
I personally started with the old school FT Flyer, got good with that and seamlessly moved to the 3 channel TT and then to the 4 channel. The FT Flyer is a decent started plane too but I think the TT is your best bet.
