Looking for a good first jet?
380 bucks, builds quick, simple configuration, looks good, flies slow, doesn't need expensive servos or powerboxes, flies on a small turbine.
Give some serious thought to the Mick Reeves Super Reaper. Just put some sort of drag device on it. It's easy to do. Just look at the pictures in this thread.
Here's the thread with a link to his website:
