First Ducted Fan ??????
Ditto what Bob said. I've owned a Top Gun F-15 and the performance envelope is awesome. It will slow down very well, flies from grass fields and will turn a respectable speed. I would get the Dynamax version. This fan unit is very popular and will drop right in to other airframes. There is nothing wrong with the Byro-jet version---just not as many choices of airframes to drop that power plant in to if something happens to the plane.
I would stay away from Bob Parkinson models. Lately, his delivery record is poor and some folks have not yet received what they ordered. (Do a search) Although the Top Gun airframe will cost more than the Regal Eagle, the rest of the parts will cost the same no matter which one you buy. Some good deals can be had in the swap section on RCU. Good luck!!! It will be good to have another jet jockey with us.
