Johny, this is a cheap combo. But remember that in order to fit the turbine in that cat, it have to be reinforce very well if not it will not be safe. In the last RCJI mag is an article about it and they say fly at your own risk at the end. About the JetJoe, you know all the issues with those engine in the past. I don't know about now. Is a long time don't heard about them. I'll not recomend this combo for a new commers.

Erik, take a look at x-tremejets they have the A-10X in a good price complete with gears. Then you can find a good used turbine in the market place for about $1500 and up. This will give you a new jet for about $2300. It's just depend where you want to stay. There is a lot planes for the 12 - 18 thrust class range.
