I'd say flying your first turbine at a jet meet is a bad idea. Too much going on.

Rushing at the pits, rushing to take off, rushing to land, etc...

Yes, there is more concentration of seasoned pilots and trouble shooters, but it's just too much IMHO.

Regarding skipping a trainer, just know that you will hurt and scratch up your first jet. Its just going to happen.

I'm happy I got a trainer when I started both just regular ole R/C AND jets.

Here's how I started:

I'm not sure I'd follow MY exact same path though!
