Let's hear some opinions about the best starter D/F jet...
I've been flying sport and scale planes for about 16 years, and I'm about ready to have a jet. Maybe something scale. I would probably want to use an OS .91 so nothing too small.
So which jet builds the best? Or flies the best? Or is just the best one to start with?
(Oh, mine was a '63 Chevy Corvair [8D] )
Ho,
I think you will find that the TGA F-15 and Byron's F-16 were the DF starter jet choice for most. They introduced many people to the jet scene, including myself with a Byron's. Nowadays many guys wanting to get into jets start with one of the many turbine trainers available if they can afford it and choose to. You can still find the 15 and 16 here on RCU or even eBay and are very good choices for a first DF.
