Default Aircraft Decisions

In my opinion, "quick build" means a tradeoff in visual quality. If you want a really good looking bird, you're going to have to invest the time and skills. But if you don't really care about that, then "cheap" is the issue. If you want a plane you can take to the field every day and fly the crap out of and still doesn't break the bank, its more of an issue of new vs used. Quick, cheap, and easy don't normally apply to jets, but let someone else deal with getting everything working. All that time and effort never comes out in the selling price. There's your cheap and easy.
I can't speak for the other planes, but the Cyclone and Renegade would be my picks for turbine aircraft. Then get a tubine that has a good history of happy customers. If you like the screamin' Indy sound of a DF (I know I do) then get youself a Spectre. The big cheeks don't favor turbines, but people have done it.
