Default Down to 4 Jets ???

Hello Gents!!! I am trying to get some input from people who have had some experience with some of these Jets...
This will be my first turbine jet aircraft... I fly nitros and Helis as well. Time to put my new Wren M54 MKlll to work... I am looking at the following Jets:
Boomerang Intro
A-10X
Velox
Fox Cub

I appreciate any advice on selecting a first time jet aircraft...
Thanks Guys,
Mojo

While I do not have one, I have heard some GREAT things about the Velox, but if this is your first jet, I would probably go with the Boomer.

Thanks C2 for the reply, I think the Boomerang is the way to go all around.... Size, Speed, seems very reasonable for the money as well.... Cool looking as well...
I would like to make it to Jet Power 2007 and see Everything... I hope to attend as I will still be in the Med at that time with my work...
Thanks Again,
Mojo

Hello Mart I have a new Wren MW54 MKlll so I must go with the Intro I think, the Big Boomer needs more power...
Thanks Mojo

Oh I didn't realise you already had the wren, then the intro is the way to go, all the boomerangs fly beautifully.

I have my wren 54 in a baby boomerang and this was my first jet. Very easy to fly but still capable of more advanced aerobatics when you are ready. Power from the Wren is perfect for both tarmac and grass runways. Also flown a boomerang with Jetcat P60 and performance similar as expected.

You will not be sorry if you pick a Boomer (Baby or XL). Quick to assemble, easy to fly, very aerobatic, and you can't beat the customer service.

OK just to be different Iam going to suggest that an 'ideal' first turbine model in my opinion anyway should be one with an externally mounted turbine like the Kangaroo, Hotspot, Bobcat etc, etc. reason is the simplified engine access......
I will assume flying ability is not an issue either of coarse and that docile aircraft flying qualities are secondary to imediate engine access and servicability for a 'turbine trainer' and in the possible event of a hot start the external set up is an advantage.

Cheers-

Thanks for the info Bud, all makes good sense as well.... I believe your right about the externally mounted engine for sure.
Appreciate your ideas,
Thanks

If you start the baby boomerang with the hatch off the engine is externally mounted and a hot start will not be an issue.
