I have been flying R/C since 1952 and now have a Baby Boomerang with a WREN Super Sport engine. We estimate it flies about 135mph full throttle. I usually fly around at ½ throttle or a little more and estimate speed at 90-100. I use full throttle when I want to go vertical. The Boomerang is very easy to fly and if you have flown warbirds or big pattern planes you won’t have any problems. I highly recommend the Baby Boomerang for your first jet.

I am currently building a scale F-94C and hope the Boomerang experience will be enough to be successful flying the F-94C. I am shooting for a wing loading of 65oz/ft, I think most BVM F-100’s are much higher wing loading.

If you go for the F-100, do it as a second jet model and get some help on buddy box.
