I must agree with Falconwings, while the Elan would seem easier to fly to most because of the straight wing and relatively low wing loading, the F-16, be it TAMS or if you can find one a Cermark, would actualy be easier to land and fly than the Elan, as said before, it looks a lot meaner than it is, just do not overpower it, flying jets does not always mean fly fast. I bet you can stall an Elan before you stall any of the F-16's I mention, and you are more likely to bunny hop the Elan than you would the F-16, I have seen many other examples of the same, like the PST Panther, extremely easy to fly, so easy it's booooooring! but not as easy to land as a TAMS or Cermark F-16. I like the 16's so much after flying a Cermark that I'm building a Jetlegend 1/6 F-16 right now, very BIG...

STAY AWAY FROM THE VELOX as a first Jet...
