Based on what you are saying and if your not ready just yet for jets, although seriously want to gain some ''real'' jet type flight training prior to making the switch try the KMP PC-21 ARF 1/5 scale, this model offers some of the systems complexites you will find with jets such as retracts and flaps. Powering the model with a performance glow or gas engine will aid greatly your flight training and is likely to be about as close to jet flight envelope and systems as you will get without going to the expense of the kero burners. Once you are comfortable flying this model you will be ready for jets in my opinion.... Iam putting one together with a Moki 2.1 for power which should be fun

I like that, Would it be a decent third plane? I am currently flying a Hangar-9 Pulse 60, I plan on flying this like mad all spring and summer. Would this be an appropriate plane to go with after the Pulse?
Its going to be much less forgiving obviously than the Pulse 60 and the PC-21 will not be flying on the wing so much. There are quite a few You Tube videos of this PC-21 flying study those and I see no reason why you should have any problems transitioning to the PC-21 as your third model. Another good idea is to pick up a quality flight sim that you can use with your multi channel (jet) flight Tx, this way you can become comfortable with all the features, mixes etc of a 9-14 ch computer radio before flying on a more complex model like the PC-21 or your first jet. MRC Reflex offers a really nice R/C flight sim that you can integrate your own R/C transmitter with and even fly a range of (sim) turbine jets on...

P.S. Skip the Boomerangs as a first jet if your already flying confidently with a model like the PC-21 and go for somthing like an F-15, F-86, Scorpion, Bobcat or Velox. The Boomers fly well but do little to prepare you for fast jet flight dynamics in my opinion
