Default RE: Interested in Jets. Need some advice

Come on over to our meet on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of August in Kalispell, Mt. You'll get to see some jets for sure.

We need to learn to walk before we can run....If I never flew a helicopter, would you recommend a real complex chopper, or a trainer? You can spend your money any way you want, but...............
You won't be successful with a jet until you learn the fundamentals. That's where the trainer comes in.
Since you have never built or flown an RC airplane, you are at the bottom of a very steep learning curve. Get a prop powered trainer and learn to fly. Then progress to a faster sport airplane. Then become proficient in high speed prop airplanes and warbirds.
That's a good background for a wanna be jet pilot.
Besides the flying skills, you should have some $$, cause a turbine ARF costs twice what a prop ARF costs.
