At 16, i've tried that also. Although between full scale flying lessons, boy scouts, a lil social life, etc... i still managed the 3 jobs, have owned a RAM 500, and I've got a balsa Bandit on the way. If you want it bad enough.....there are a bunch of great guys that will help you out.....I'm broke...but i'll have my Turbine!!!! Addicted to something....glad it's only Jet-A.......Good luck
