If you think you will be in jets for while, I suggest an R-800 ARF from PST and a standard size turbine like the PST 1300R or a P120. This will allow you to advance into the jet world and use the turbine for a scale or larger jet later on...

I am flying an R-800 now and it is a very smooth and an easy plne to fly. Check the thread regarding this model. Do a search ..Good luck in whatever you get!!

I started on a TamJet F-16 with a P-120SE. I'm loving it. It'll teach you everything you need to know to fly your next scale military jet.

In my opinion buy BTE REACTION 54. I am currently flying it and I love this aircraft. I have flown BVM bobcat, Sabre F86, CARF Rookie and currently building Jet Legend T-45 and CARF MiG-15. I feel when your are starting into jets, you need an aircraft which is gentle, easy to maintain and transport. Reaction is a wonderful aircraft to learn jets. The problem with aircraft mentioned above is that if you have a damage or make repair or adjustment, you will have to dig out quite a few stuff, andf then reassemble, this in my opinion is lot of work. With Reaction there are three access hatches and everything is located in those hatches.
I have logged 15 flights so far on my Reaction, and I fly from uneven ground, and the retracts are working great. There is also composite version available from PST TURBINES, Thailand.
