Aviator2002:

I have the Great Planes Learjet and am very happy with its performance.

As stated, you do need a good engine up front. Ihave the supertiger 50 engine with the performance specialities muffler for extra rpms. Before I added the muffler, performance was marginal with the stock muffler, would hardly keep it airborne. I also put Hobbico retracts on it and really helps on flight. Looks good flying in the air-real lifelike. Dont expect to do much airobatics with this though, was not made for it !!!.

Give yourself alot of runway for take off and landing. Likes to stay on the ground until you have sufficient airspeed.

If I can be of further help-ask.
