Tamecat,

Most jets fly great once they are up to speed. The pusher will help you learn the timing associated with getting the plane up to speed. Pattern, pusher, heavy warbird, speed plane, etc.. each helps you learn a piece of the puzzle. Keep in mind many jets will fly nice and slow, so speed isn't always the issue. Many jets need more skill landing and taking off (especially since there is no propwash) than high speed.
