Welcome to my Friday night special edition of bean vision(yes its another Blue Moon productions!) LOL So I am sitting here at 10:30 finishing up my new gear install and it hit me, even after all the head ache/flustrations, that I really enjoy jets. I have been building planes and helis for 20+ years and jets for a year + and I find myself enjoying the challenge. The flying part is easy, my f-16 flies like a tame pattern plane on a calm day, but what floats my boat is the build/setup to jets(which sucks because my pay doesn't support it). Granted my experience is limited to one brand but from all the reading/research its the norm.
Take for example rc helis, this year at IRCHA they had over a 1000+ pilots! All of them are stick banging beyond their ability to get the wow factor, at KY jets they had a 1/4 of that but every flight was a wow factor. So it got me thinking what exactly is the wow factor about jets? Is it the sound? The speed, or just the challenge of the build?
