I've just taken up R/C aircraft after about a 20 year hiatus. During that time i've picked up my pilots license and a couple ratings along with more flight-sim hours than I care to admit to. I'm currently puttering around the cabbage patch with a .60 size trainer.

So what i'm looking for is some input on what would be the quickest way to get my skills up to a level to take on a Jet. I've been throught real flight training and understand that there really are no shortcuts, but there must be some .

I'd love to hear from the wealth of experience what I should do, and what I shoudn't do as far as flight experience. Also is there is consensus on the minimum hours needed to take on a jet???

Thanks.
