Status: offline 		Hi, I am a newbie to the RC world. My friend took me with his jet awhile back, and I thought it was the coolest thing to see. I went to my local hobby store "Warricks Hobbies", and was chased away by the EXPENSIVE prices. 
One thing they were really pushing was the gas powered airplanes. A couple reasons why I DO NOT want a gas powered is: One, I live an hour and a half away from the closest flying field. Two, I know you can convert glow engines to normal gas, but seems too much of a hassle. Three, GAS PLANES ARE TRIPLE as expensive of electric. I really want to start flying electric jets, and my favorite is the SR71, but I cannot seem to find one. Just wondering if anyone has any reccomendations for me regarding jets, or supplies/prices?

Thanks!



P.S. : I actually found a SR71 by itself here: http://www.nitroplanes.com/78a71-sr71-black-kit.html#scProductReviews

I should have mentioned also, that it would be good to find an instructor. I've seen several people do good at flying with nothing more than simulator time (about 40 hours or so), but they still needed help on landing.
