Default RE: Getting the itch

Welcome to the jet side!

I was flying for 15-20 years with props and 3d flying and several CArdens (40%) before switching to jets.

I went to a Kingcat for my first jet - it was great easy to fly and taught me many things. 2nd jet was an F18F. I could have flown it as a first jet but am glad I had the experience on the Kingcat. Some jets glide to a landing and some require true power/pitch handling, like the F18F,to land them correctly and not at 90 mph or too slow. That F18F flew for 5 years and was then sold all in one piece.

Good luck,
Dave
