RE: NEW to Jets
Best all around, easy to(for a EDF) fly and durability I would buy an E-Flite Habu. You can either hand launch or use the included wheels. I have over 75 flights on mine and used it as a trainer for my BVM Electra. There are many cheap EDF's out there and I have seen guys bring them to the field and get 1 flight out of them. If you total the airframe it can be replaced for $100.00. Transfer all the parts and go fly again. It is a foamy but is well worth the money.
