First DF Jet-need lots of advice
Very good advice so far. From everyone.
In regards to the price issue: I really only wanted to begin with a smaller jet because, I'm not sure if I'll like them. I don't want to get a whole lot of money wrapped up in a .91 sized jet, only to find out that my nerves can't handle the complexities or speed of a jet.
I think I'll stick with the small one for now, and then move up to the larger one later, if the bug bites me hard enough.
I'm a little bit conservative , by nature. I soloed on an LT-40 and didn't get a new plane untill I had it converted to a taildragger with a huge motor. Next plane was a Kadet SR. :Basically a big LT-40. Then I went to a Stick; which is an LT-40 with a Semi-symetrical wing. Then, I went to the low wing taildraggers. And finally, after 3 years of flying, I have broken into the "full tilt boogey" aerobatic planes. Currently fling a Sig Cap 231 Breitling. And have a crashed Laser 200 on the table. Opps!!
So, you see, I usually take my time. I don't try to tackle anything too big or complicated; too soon. I am content to try the ducted fan jets out with the smaller sized engines and planes. Granted, they may only be a few hundred bucks cheaper than the .91 sized planes, but $200 is still $200.
I'll get my feet wet and I have no doubt that I'll be moving up to the .91 sized jets in a year or two. I like things that go fast.
Thanks
