Hey guys,

I am looking for a jet trainer for next season and with the introduction of the X45, I was wondering if the small sport jets can be compared to the big ones ?
Originally I was thinking about a bigger model like the Viper from RC Pilot in 87", then I saw some models like the Rebel Hot, SAB Lizard etc ... It looks like the market is going toward the smaller jets, at least for the sport planes.
But how does both compare ?
If I take the Viper Jet as an example, the flying enveloppe looks really wide but it's obvious for a 10 kg model with a 87" span ... The wing loading is low and flying characterics might be awesome.
What about the smaller ones, the Rebel Hot is a ~5kg plane for 60" wing span. What about the flying enveloppe ? Is it comparable ?

I'm looking for a trainer so you can imagine what I'm looking for .. The Viper is a perfect choice and fit 100% of my needs but if I can go smaller ... with easier transportation, faster assembly at the field etc ... why not ?
I took the Viper and the Hot as examples, there might be other models of course but they illustrate perfectly what I am trying to figure out.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
