Best affordable jet trainer?
Jets can be done on a budget. I built my first jet, a Regal Eagle, two years ago with an auction kit and used power unit(OS.77,Byro fan&pipe). All up cost, built, glassed, painted and ready to fly $450. It has fixed gear and I'm having a ball flying it off a rough grass field. I am now building a Balsa USA Enforcer to use the same power(also picked up from forums and e-bay). The total cost of this one with better servos will be about $600. These prices do not include recievers and transmitter. I have recently picked up an old BVM A-4 kit, retracts, K&B 7.5, and Turbax fan unit, and am looking forward to building it next(estimated completion cost $500). Turbines jets sound nice, but I'm going to have three jets flying for less than the price of the cheapest turbine engine. I am also the only one flying jets at my club field.
