RE: Finding F-5
Sportsman aviation F20 is an F5 too.
Just a side note, we have a couple of new cadet pilots training with us at the moment, that are ex Malaysian Airforce F5 drivers.
The real 1's sound like a lot of fun to fly

RE: Finding F-5
This is a personal opinion of course, but I think the Sportsman aviation, juno, direct connection F-20 design is one of the best flying jet style "prop jet" that's around. It will perform jet manuevers, looks great (always draws attention from the slower folks at the field), and it doesn't cost that much. I saw speeds in the 130+ mph range in level flight.

Julian, The SA was copy of the DC/Juno kit. After Juno found out about it they disappeared. junorc.com is where you can get a kit. Last time I checked they were under $75.
The Juno will take retracts just fine, look at CH's. The SA would be a pain in the six but might be possible with a lot of surgury.
