Default Propped Jets?

Okay, I know I'm going to get "blasted" from most of you on this one but I don't know where else to pose this question. I like jets, especially the F9F, and would like to know if you have suggestions as to where I can get plans to build a jet model that would take a .60 to .75 glow engine mounted sidwinder style. I haven't the funds to get into some of the beautiful jet models I see but, flying off of a grass runway, I'd like to build and fly something like the Ziroli F9 or similiar (something so I could still use the spinner to round off the nose). Any ideas (nice ones) welcomed! Thanks!!

Soft landings.

I have several of these and they are a kick in the pants to fly I have a fa 18 that takes a 91 fully operational landing gear struts but stationary on the fuse its about 6.5 feet long and looks just like a real jet in the air I have a scratch built f 84 interceptor and it too looks like the real deal the old f4 phantom from great planes is a good bet for your need they stopped making the kit a while back but Im sure you can find one on craigslist, I think the f14 also a top flight kit is also a good bet let me know what you get and I will try to help you as I can Rickey in Denver

Do a search for plans by Pavel Bosak. He did a lot of pusher prop plans in the 70s and 80s. Search FM, RCM, etc.

Heck, why couldn't you do a Ziroli Panther? If a .91 DF would fly it, then a .91 in the nose should too. Heck, its so open inside that you could even probably run the pipe down the inside and almost completely conceal it...

Thanks for the input and ideas. Hadn't thought about running a pipe inside the Panther....good idea! I remember reading articles from Pavel Bosak and that also is a great reminder. Thanks Ricky..the F4 would be a good start. I see there are a few friends willing to offer constructive thought here and your modeling advise is surely appreciated! To a couple of you, well,....some things just never seem to change....

Soft landings.
