Growingupisoptional, you obviously have some sort of chip on your shoulder regarding jet pilots. No one is saying that someone can't learn to fly jets. We are just saying, correctly so, that they are more complicated than props. This fact is universally accepted by most everyone in the hobby including AMA. AMA didn't create the waiver program to make them feel better lol. That is an absurd observation. They carry liability insurance and the waiver helps to ensure that people are properly trained in the hobby in order to extend that insurance to jet pilots. Because of the high expense of jets we typically use higher grade components (servos, radios, special regulators, power expanders, dual batteries for redundancy, heavier landing gear etc...) which typically require more expertise than your standard flyer has. This is the reason (as you also correctly stated in a previous post) that one should try and hook up with the local guru to get pointers and help. In my opinion anyone who can successfully fly a warbird with retracts and flaps can learn to fly a jet with some help. Easy isn't the word that comes to mind during the process of learning that skill set

Take it easy - your making more of an issue out of this than necessary.

BTW, just because you have an autostart Jetcat with an ECU doesn't mean everything is going to work like it is supposed to. You CAN do things to destroy the jet and the engine. Ever heard of a wet start? If you don't know what to look for and how to correct it when it happens you will most likely distroy the jet. There are many other pitfalls that one must consider before tackling a jet. One other thing is that with jets everything happens FAST. Exponetially so compared to props. You better be prepard to take evasive action quickly if something goes wrong. Again, I'm not saying that people can't lean these skill sets - it's just that they ARE more complicated and they DO have be learned.
