RE: Getting the itch
What worked for me was to start with the Habu 32, as this got me used to the speed and jet landing characteristics (with the exception of the throttle delay of course that comes with turbines). From there I went with the Skymaster Hawk specifically because of its trailing link heavy duty gear. It lands real nice and the gear has held up to multiple hard landings. Attached is a picture of me and my first turbine baby...10 flights and counting so far.</p>
