I'm open to suggestions, my list wasn't all encompassing. I'm just trying to find something out there that will work with this size turbine, get me in the air this summer and not break the bank entirely (I know, tough in the jet world). But I'm finally ready (mostly financially) to do this!!!!
Okay, bit of another suggestion Sam; with your experience handling higher wing loading models like your P47, jets won't be that big of an issue except they can move so damn much faster. That said, I'd suggest that you do not need what might be called a "trainer" and the bad thing about those models is once you get your Waiver, they're boring....
If you haven't, take a lookt at that Cougar; PNP, 100N so your Rabbit should do the trick at Sea Level, I put a 120 in this one as our field elevation is 4500'. You've got very little to buy except the radio gear with one of these models and the engine which you already have.
