Status: offline 		Hello guys,

im looking for a good sport medium size jet, something like the Ultra Flash or Bandit, preferabely fully composite (as it needs to be tough) for a fair price.
I would love an Ultra Flash relaly but the price is steep so im having second thoughts.

Does this exist at all ? it seems like the market is lacking in this field.

thanks for reading.

It will take lots of abuse and last for years!! (as mine has). So is it expensive, well not really, considering it is very very good value.
Can you get cheaper jets well yes .........and they are in finish and ability.

Buy one and love it.................!

But honestly as a sports model which does need a but of "building" it's a first rate model

So far i thought about flash (pricey), bandit (pricey) and Dragon (which is too big to fit in my Toyota Corolla).

The reaction looks much more like a floater than high speed high performance machine?

I have a Classic Flash (Which I love) and I had a Reaction ARF which I sold for that very reason!

Get the Flash.... best value for the money.

definitely. i just dont see why some chinese manufacturers dont make some better priced sport jets, but who knows ?
honestly the Dragon from Xtreme jets does look good and priced fair i guess, just too big for my car.. hehe.

So far it still seems the pricey UF wins !

Status: online 		There is a ready for paint CAI Raptor in the classifieds for a good price. If I had the money I'd grab it. Has the strength and durability of the flash with better speed and precision than a bandit. My Raptor is equaled only by my firebird. I've had a bandit, had a flash, had lots of sport jets, and the raptor outshines all but my firebird. It's truly a shame cai is out of business.

You could look at PAF-de!
They do some nice sports jets (kits) for a low budget, but you will have to build them!
Seen them fly at jet power last year and they were quite impressive!
Ultra Flash is a great plane for the money if you've got it!
If I hadn't of bought a Super Bandit I would of had the UF!
You could see what comes out at Jet Power 2012, I understand there
will be a few new sports airframes to be launched!

Status: offline 		HI Guys, most are not pricing a jet right, the up front money is not a good way of pricing a jet. The proper way to price a jet is the  total cost to get it in the air, subtract the resale value, then divide the number of flights you got on it.
In other words, its the cost per flight.
My BVM jets are the cheapest, and FEJ's, the most expensive.
The best entry jet and first flight of the day jet is the Boomerang Sprint.
The second  tough , allround jet is the Flash.
And next is the BVM Bandit and Bobcat.

Bingo! Exactly why I keep a log book - BVM Bobcat = $5.50/flight, 400 flights, deal closed, new owner. You really don't know how expensive or cheap a jet was until you sell it, or crash it 

Same thing with engines BTW...

True John, but a Reaction will NOT fit in a Toyota Corolla.

the topic is a high speed aerobatic jet (such as the flash etc) with better cost - it might very well not exist, but its certainly no reaction or easyjet !
