L.M. , you have got the wrong impression about these jet dudes. they have helped me get my first turbine jet together [right] and you can find an expert to help you fly it. you just have to be polite and considerate when you ask them for help. i have never flown a ducted fan and hope i never do [no offense d/f dudes, their just not my thing]. if you can honestly say that you are a good to expert ,and confident flyer of fast prop planes ,and are half way mechanically inclined, you souldn,t have much trouble .. i bought a harpoon arf jet, [like a rookie], that was the absolute least amount of work, and most bang for my buck. it is an expensive hobby, when you crash one of these its going to really hurt,, so if you got the guts ,bucks, and brains ,,, i say go for it.... tip 1- research everything here before you buy anything.
