getting into jets
hello, my name is Tim. my friends call me Timmer.
i can just about fly the wings off my trainer!! but hey, have to start somewhere. my second plane will be a Sig Citabria for more advanced learning. im building it now. (this winter that is) but id like to get into the large scale turbine powered models. also, going fast interests me.
i live in dayton, fly at the dayton (wingmasters) field, where do i start?

RE: getting into jets
Great to have ya!!
My 2 cents would be to visit the club where Terry Nitsch(sp?) flies as there should be a fair amount of turbine flyers there and ask all the questions that you can.

ps. like he said - bring your checkbook

RE: getting into jets
This thread is 7 years old, and really should be updated to include todays new jet trainers, but the information is still relevant, it may answer some of your questions for now and help you focus on what the bigger questions are

The best way to learn is from the locals who are doing it.. There are about a dozen jet pilots around dayton.. MAny More if you go towards Cincy or Columbus.
Entry level jets run about 4-6,000 dollars, so be prepared... But its totally addicting!!!!!
