I'm with AK in that flight sims are not necessary. However, if you have absolutely no "feel" for flying, they may be a good idea. The dynamics of flight are very simple once you understand how it works.
The Horizon Hobby Super Cub is THE airplane for someone with no flight experience. If you feel you are losing control, release the controls and the Cub will right itself. In my opinion, the anti-crash technology is horrible. NEVER turn it on! The plane is so stable and docile it will take care of itself.
I am going to hazard a guess that, at this point, you really just want to fly something. The Super Cub will allow you to do that. When you get bored with it, and if you want to continue in the hobby, the Cub is easily modified to a MUCH higher performing airplane! I started with the Cub. I had no previous RC experience. However, I have spent time flying the real deal, so I had that "feel" for flying. Still, the Cub will literally fly itself.
The Cub was my first plane. I've modified it. I've repainted it. I am currently adding sailplane towing capability to it. It NEVER gets old! Go with the Cubby!
However, if cost is an issue, the Mini-Cub is not a bad airplane. Given the choice, though, go with the Super Cub.
