Hey guys, so I have been flying rc planes for a few years, have flown a variety of models, starting with a hobbico nexstar and progressing to park fliers and warbirds and my latest plane being a umx extra 300. I have spent many hours on realflight flying all of the planes including many jets. I am looking at getting started into real jets, and by that I mean turbines, but that is what I am seeking advice for. What do jet jocks consider to be a "ready" pilot for making the jump to jets. I have put many hours into the jets in realflight with all sorts of failures and weather conditions to test my ability and have done quite well i believe. If you think I am ready, then what is a good beginner turbine, or even edf if turbine is too advanced to start with? And I would prefer scale or sport before an ugly boring turbine trainer. Thanks!
