First Jet
A friend of mine just flew his first Turbine jet this past September. He's been flying sporadically over the last 20 yrs. mostly flying electrics. I recommended, and he purchased, an Excalibur (standard size). He bought and installed a k85 (which is perfect) I did the maiden (typical 1 or two clicks for straight and level) with a very smooth comfortable felling in the air. On the fifth flight he did his first solo on it. That was in September and he's still smiling. It's a nice flying plane at a reasonable price, easy to assemble and flies and lands very well. I have both a boomerang intro and XL they also fly well but I believe this is even better (just my opinion having flown all 3) All flights have been off pavement but a 400-500 foot grass field should be no problem.
Welcome to turbine powered flight. Good luck!
