Well rcpilet. I was, this time last year looking into jets for the first time. So i understand and remember what it was like. I am also on a tight budget or else i would have had my f-18 in the air by now. But i can say this. There is REALLY not that big of a difference in price between 46-91 size jets. Look at the jet hangar f-86. It is like 500 bucks for the kit. Well a starfire from yellow, is i think a lil less, might be the same, but that starfire has a mutch broader flight nvelope, you should see one fly. Sure it takes a .91, but if you cannot take the speed, slow it down. Just because it is a jet does not mean you have to do 200 mph. Take it easy for awhile, and maybe fly with the flaps down until you can get to think about your next move before its time to. Let me say that from as much as i have read, and seen. If you cannot start with something like a starfire (with a large wing area), then maybe jets are not going to be your cup o tea. I think anyone that has good reflexes(and a radio with dual rates) ;-) can fly a jet. Well hope that helps. Nick
