Default RE: 'Am I ready for a jet?' & other questions you've heard too many times...


ORIGINAL: skyhawknut

Since no-one has really flown those two yet (as they aren't available foe the masses yet) It's hard to answer if they are right for a beginner. As I have numerous Df jets - I'd say the best trainer out there is the GWS F-15. Very sweet flying qualities and rock solid.

Think of it as a jet powered E-starter (yes - I have both)
Good points. I guess I was wondering due to the fact that it's designed similar to other jets and some sort of comparison might be possible (apples to apples).

I checked out some videos and other info on the GWS F-15 and calling it a jet powered e-starter looks like a good comparison. Tower has them for $125 or so, but I'd have to pick up two ESC's. Any other cheaper places that you know of?
