RE: rc ducted fan jets?
I pointed Austin S. to the Diablo because it is, quite simply, the only EDF Trainer on the market. It is designed for the beginning pilot; the 4-channel Tactic radio transmitter comes with a Futaba buddy box jack on the back and can easily be flown with an instructor. It's a complete, ready-to-fly package requiring minimal assembly. It has a 40" wingspan and 39" fuselage, which is considerably larger than most other EDF airplanes in its price range, so it will be much easier for a beginner to follow from the ground.
No other EDF Jet on the market is as ideally suited for a beginning pilot. The fact that it is also easily upgraded once the pilot is experienced and comfortable with basic flight is just icing on the cake.
