Dude, the easiest jet by far hands down and perfect entry level jet is shockjet......It is the easiest to build (1 week with no jet building experience), the least expensive(300.00 if you need to purchase a turbine or 500 without), very durable(no retracts), and most importantly easy to fly and maintain control at both ends of the speed range while learning to deal with throttle lag. The plane is extremely forgiving.... if you can fly a sweet stick, you can fly a shockjet. Its so damn easy that its starting to make me sloppy on my scale birds. I tend to forget that the scale ones dont like to land at 5mph but the shockjet does. Good Luck in what ever choice you make but I can promise you it does not get any easier than the shockjet.
