Default RE: Skymaster Hawk or Gripen

rob , what problems are you having? i just got a gripen this week. it's my first jet . i see there's a training cg point i can use. i have a p-80 i want to put into it. any thoughts? do you think this plane is to much for a newbie. ? i've flown a lot of big gas stuff. mostly warbirds. Warbird_1

I have a Gripen with a 120 in it. It's fairly fast at 185mph in level flight, and it has some unique flying charactoristics. Performance on the ground is no problem, it tracks nicely even in a crosswind. The most challenging part of flying the Gripen, for me anyway, is landing it consistantly.
