Stay away from the Kyosho gas jets! They do not fly well!

Top Gun aircraft jets seem to be the the best alround. perform great and don't cost alot. The ones that use Byron fans are mor beginer freindly but sacfice speed. the dynamax are alittle tougher to get off (need runways) but are faster. If you can get the Byron kts, all but the a-4 are known for great begginer jets. A-4 not all that bad... but anything with a Byron fan seems to fly. And if you want to kit bash , people take balsa usa enforcers, mount a byron fan on top and whoosh a 130mph sport plane.
