Merry Christmas everyone, hope Santa was generous to all. What he brought me was enough cash to afford my first jet !
I have been lurking around here for several months and have learned a lot but still haven't quite decided on my first jet. Cost will be a factor, but since I'm a VERY slow builder it will probably get spread out over the next year or so. Anyway, my choices---

One plane you didn't mention was "The Facet" esigned by Kerry Sterner, and sold by Great Northern Hobbies. A great flyer in either the 12 or 23 lb thrust sizes....and you can modify to the shape your heart desires. Another would be Bruce Tharpe's "reaction"-which is for MW-54 sized turbines.
Yes Virginia, wood is still a useful material!
Good Luck with you search!

Thanks Jetflyr ! I looked at the Facet and Reaction. I like working with wood much better than composites but I just don't have the time. For example, I've been working on a 40 size ARF for over two months now. I MIGHT have it ready next week, I hope.
