RE: Nitro Models Formost 150 are in the USA
Well, I've just bitten the bullet and ordered one myself. I'm absolutely new to turbines, and was looking at finding as least as expensive as possible a way into turbines. I have been mulling over which plane to buy. I was strongly considering the DV8R, but that is no longer in production. A jet friend of mine recommended the CJM Talon. I wasn't too fond of the Bobcat, so another friend recommended the Boomerang. That is what I settled on, then I stumbled upon the Formost 150. I like larger-sized planes, so I was really liking the Boomerang XL. But it is a costly plane. I had a reality check, and decided that since I'm new, a smaller version would get me in the air cheaper and sooner. Hopefully others that get the Formost 150 will continue to share the mods that need to be done to make the plane really turbine worthy. Now which turbine to get. Decisions, decisions. Leaning towards Jet Joe for low(er) initial costs. Still not completely sold on it's QA and reliability. The JJ1800 seems to be getting better press though. Since they are now a sponsor at this years Florida Jets, I'll get a chance to see them there.
