I can buy one and only one so I need your input as to which is the best flying and most fun. Also best overall quality. Thanks in advance for your input!

What's a MiG 26?
LoL, I was thinking the same thing, who voted for that one?

Maybe it's from the same family as the Mig 28.

Viper jet all the way.

One of the most stable and smoothest flying jets on the market.

There is a jet event about a 3 hour drive for you in about 5 weeks. Why don't you check it out. Maybe some of the planes you are interested in will be there.

Describe your flying level? Some of these will be a little hotter than others.

I have been fllying since 1976 Mostly 40% stuff but only started flying jets a year ago. I currently have a Elan. SM F-15, Eurosport, Flash and a FB Panther which is waiting it's turn. I have convinced my wife that I need just one more jet. These four jets are what narrowed down to after attending Florida jets. unfortunately the one day I was there I did not get to see the Viper fly (rudder problem) and I missed the F-5e. the Mig looked great in the air.

I will make my purchase on Monday so I am looking forward to all the feedback.

Hi,
I was about to mention the Elan, but I see you already have one. Great plane.
This poll is going to be interesting.

Good luck.

the Elan is a perfect first jet, but I am ready for more. the response to this thread has been interesting. I will order one of these this Monday.

Considering it won't be your first jet, I'd go with the Mig 29 or the F5 only because they haven't been done to death like the F16 and Viperjet.

I have always liked the F-5 and the look of the Mig is interesting, but I am afraid the mig will be like flying my F-15. That's not a bad thing. I just want something different.

Looks like the Viper is about to win this poll. I hope they have their rudder issues resolved. Who knows maybe my wife will not notice two jets arriving the same day! decisions, decisions.

Go with the Skymaster Viper if you want an aircraft to Fly, Fly, Fly & Fly. .... He liked it so much he even bought another.
It lands like a butterfly ,always(most of times) on the Center line.

Excellent choice! Although watching the new SM Mig at FL Jets made it a tough choice, but I purchased my Viper from BVM last week and it will be here by the end of this week. Very easy from quote to payment, Patty gets it done.

Congrats on your choice. You will not be disapointed. Joe is right I was so happy with the first Viper I bought a second one. I have the 1/6th F-16 as well both are great but the viper for a everyday relaxing jet to fly is the right pic. Here is the video of one of the first flights. Jet cat P-200 I might add

Thanks to all who responded to the poll. I pulled the trigger on the Viperjet, Patty said it would ship in about two weeks. Hopefully I will get in the air soon!
