RE: Jet Pilot skill level?
Andy your entire post comes across as telling me to suck eggs (meaning rude). You haven't concentrated on the discussion at hand which is skill level.
Funny that I would have a chip on my shoulder when I fly jets and I'm telling other people they should try it.
I always take it easy. In 4 years I have only posted 20 posts, but people scaring people out of flying jets is a discussion I like to get in on.
However your first response to me in this thread states how" I can't teach you anything about basic flight characteristics of petrol type plane" and then ask me to do the same about jet ones. You need a chill pill dude.
My point is that turbines aren't very hard to use. If I can do it any one can. You can argue that the hardest to fly scale model is going to be difficult for a beginner but that's why there is such a cross section of airframes. Why be so negative all the time? You can say that for you they are complex and hard to fly. And I can tell people that they are not so complex and quite easy to fly. So why am I wrong?

I said they wouldn't buy a heavy metal because of the price!! read again.
I never said flying all jets is as easy( read the posts again) as a 40 size. And I agree with you that anyone can fly a boomerang intro.
You jumped into this thread with your my plane it too hard for everyone else to fly comment. Not me.
And now I see I'm not a good enough pilot because I fly a Gripen? You don't know me from a bar of soap and yet you judge me.
Great to see you have resorted to personal attacks. Big of you.
If i am upsetting your delicate jet pilot ego i am sorry for that.
I still say that the skill level of the average jet pilot is no greater than the skill level of your average prop pilot. Only the wallets differ.
This is what the thread is about and you do not have to agree with me.
