Nice to see someone concerned for beginners... My dilemma is that I have minimal flying experience, but love building scale models. I am toying with building a Y/A F-15, but know that if I ever want to fly it, I will likely need several years of experience on acrobatic props and probably a beginner jet prior, and even then its chances of survival look slim.
Building this model will give me great pleasure, I just wish I had the skill to fly one as well.....

Keep-up the good work Jeremy - its good to see someone catering for those of us who are learning about this wonderful hobby!
