If you want scale, get a Skymaster F-16 1/8
If you want a trainer, get a Boomerang.
There are some other nice scale and trainer jets but I have no experience with them. Wait until this thread run a little bit......<br type=''_moz'' />
I've often seen here on RCU where folks recommend an F-16 as a first, or even as a trainer turbine jet. Is that realistic? Excuse me if that is a stupid question. I (visually) don't see a F-16 as a trainer, but I'm no expert. And knowing that the full-sized F-16 was "intentionally designed to be slightly aerodynamically unstable", it makes me wonder if that tendency was transferred to R/C models. I know that typically the full-sized vs models don't fly the same, still wondering though.
In short, can anyone chime in as to why an F-16 is a good candidate for first or trainer turbine jet?
Thanks,
