Great advice here. I have a JL F-18 and it is one of my favorite flying Jets.
But it still flies like an F-18 ��
I think like all Jets the key to having fun is to master approach speeds, attitude and turbine lag.
All of that is easier in a more forgiving airframe.
But that F-18C is an AWESOME jet! Once you get locked into the right attitude and airspeed it lands like a dream.
