Default RE: F/A 18 Hornet..what do you guys think???

Yeh, what those guys said. My F20 and Patriots track like they are on rails. Prop jets are great . They are not as intimidating as you may think. If you are flying some real hot little P51 or similar, your not to far off. You know I would honestly recommend the Patriot as your first. The F-18 is nice but a bit of a building pain. The Patriot is a bit easier but still every bit as hot with the "right" engine.

Thanks for the input, I don't want to hijack this thread, but, I need advise on learning to fly these prop jets, I'm not new to flying, right now mainly low wing style sport and RCCA Combat Planes, is there a diffrence on how these planes handle in the air besides the ground handling issues? I'ved only seen one guy so far in our club with one of these prop jets, an F-15, cool looking plane, I would love to have one, since a turbine jet is out of my budget.
