RE: what planes to buy before jet
Any of the fast pattern planes would be more of a trainer for jets vs. aerobatic types lie the Extras. An OS 90FX on a Kaos 60 will give you an idea of a fast moving plane that will turn on a dime. At least if things start to go wrong with the Kaos you can throttle way back and let things slow down until you catch your breath. A Patriot would also serve well as a jet trainer and is also supposed to be able to fly quite slowly if you need to.[8D]
