RE: Jet for beginner??
I don't think the original poster grasps the difficulty of model flight. I would advize samguan to visit a local club or local enthusiast and get a flight or two on a buddy box, if possible. Toronto, Ontario is densely populated, so I wouldn't think there would be a problem finding a club or shop.
I know many pilots who have flown for years that I would not consider capable of flying even the most basic turbine.
