RE: Just researching-Where does one start?
Hi there.
I was "in your shoes" not long ago. And I have asked around and read some very good threads here.
And received help everytime I asked. Both here and anywhere else. When I started looking around in Denmark (where I live), it looked a little like an insider's club. Of course it did, because it's something very few does. And those few were very friendly and I have never felt a lack of good advice.
What got into you, writing this ? :
((Insider's boys club. Noone wants to help. Exactly what I had heard about the jet crowd. Duly noted. I'll learn like I've learned everything else in this hobby.))
You must have had a very short fuse that day, i think. You got well-meant answers to your question showing different
perspectives. Instead of weighing the answers you got, identifying them as pro and con DF/turbine, you just blew your fuse. Your posting told more about you than anyone else. I fully understand the next posting: "Outsider....".
Because the Internet gives us such instant communication, we all need to constrain ourselves and not react on an impulse.
A long story: I started out buying a used stripped Byron F-16 DF. When I had collected just about all I needed to finish it, I found a very nice used Simjet 2250 turbine. Now I feel like a donkey between several nice haystacks and have a hard time choosing what to do. I believe now I'll build the Kangaroo II kit I (also) have, and forgetting the scale planes for now.
After all, I can make a lot of fun stuff with a Kangaroo; I can give it a Tomcat paint job and canards later.
