Default RE: best Turbine Trainer??

I bought a Baby Boomerang because I liked the fact that with the top off I could see all these scary new gizmos doint their things when I started the turbine.
Surprisingly J. Dunker is the only person to bring up accessability of all the unfamiliar gizmos. This & good access to the engine when starting & when putting out the fire when (not if!) you make a mistake fuelling or starting. I have often seen models with a fully enclosed engine & pipe catch fire & the first indication is the paint blistering [X(] Perhaps this sort of model is best left till turbine operarion becomes second nature. Really, if you want to fly turbines you should be a good, not average, pilot.

A friend has a baby Boomerang & it was stable & easy to fly even when staggering around on the lousy thrust of a Jet Joe engine. Now, with a P-70 & big foam tires it pounds in & out of our rough grass strip all day. - John.
