Issues?
Is only me or is a jet like some hot lookin' girlfriend? I just sold my MavPro and I have to admit I almost backed out. All the work seems justified when "whoa, that's cool" is what you think when you see it. To sell it, that bites but I know it's for the better. Short grass runway should explain everything. BVM, high velocity and low static thrust. It's Byron or turbine from now on. Well, I hope I can craft something from an Avonds kit as sweet as this maverick kit. The sweet sound of the TJT3000 will be oh so sweet! Well, a post of no real use but I just wanted to see if there are other RC's who feel the same.

I can Relate!
I said the same thing they are cool. There is something about them there lines and curves there sleek looks and sounds what ever it is I am hooked in for life.
I just got started in turbines, as a mater of fact I am puting together a Yellow Aircraft Starfire II. I had a tough time explaining to my wife why I wanted to move from from prop planes to turbines. It was especialy dificult to convince her when I started puting together a list of what I needed to make it all come true. Not to mention when she saw the first credit card statement.
Botom Line I have currently 18 RTF prop aircrafts in my garage from 40 size up to 38%. I took a rough estimate as to what I had including the cases of fuel, radio's ect.and a ball park figure came to $8000.00 - $10000.00. It was a little easy after that. She saw it my way.
On the other hand I could not indulge in this sport if it where not for my wife's support and understanding "thank you".
Not to mention my Job.

You also need to know where that understanding ends. 
I just want to say; Thanks Maureen.

18 prop planes= 1 turbine plane
The fun-cash ratio is totally of of wack with turbines but they are EXTREMELY cool and you have to pay to play !
