I am looking for my first EDF jet, and I can pick up a phase 3 F-16 for $130. I really want an F-4 or something a little more realistic but I am having trouble finding these things. I don't know anything about the esc and lipo combos, so that is a handicap. Are the Nitroplanes edf jets any good? Thanks!

The nitro planes models are good but i'd go to bananna hobby.com they have a better selection and a few models in the works that you wont find anywhere else i believe at the moment they have a swing wing tom cat and a f 117 in the works as well as all the usual f4,f16,f15,typhoon,f35,raptor ....list goes on im sure you know all the usual ones if you have more to spend i'd go to EJF.com or ducted fan.com they have the big beautiful composite models with air retracts and such and i see you're coming from nitro planes by the looks of it now that i see that the models at bananna hobby would be a great as everythings included and you can watch thier "out of the box" reviews as well as thier first flight reviews so you know exactly what you're gonna get and how they perform before you give them your credit card number
