RE: whats a good prop jet to start out with?
If you want to build something from plans I suggest you build a Curare with a slightly thinned airfoil.
It is not a prop jet but a very sleek F3A design with a sexy anhedral stab (looks gorgeous for us Phantom fans).
With a suitable paint scheme and markings I'm sure it will look the part.
The plans are available from [link=http://www.rcstore.com/rs/general/detail.asp?catnum=fsp12761&catego=PL]Model Airplane News[/link].
