where to start
 

hi guys new here, from the UK i never really though about jets until i saw one flying now i want one or two or three you get the idea

anyhow wheres the best place to start the journey to building me one of these

RE: where to start
 

Assuming you are comfortable and proficient at flying high speed r/c planes, I say the first thing you need to do is to decide what your budget can support and whether you will use ducted fan power or turbine power.

will have to be turbine i think part of the atraction is th realistic sound of the turbines will be saving for a while though it isnt a short term project but you can never start researching to early can you???

RE: where to start
 

I just have to say, this is also a big reason why I opted to go turbine rather than df even though I can not really afford a new turbine. The sound and performance are unbeatable.

i had a look at Als Hobbies site but it all seems to be ARTF stuff, are hese best to start with before going on to build that dream jet from a kit/plan, for me half the fun of the hobby is the building and the satisfaction of flying something you built

You may also want to check in with West London Models, check their adds in RCJI Mag.

Just a tip jets aren't cheap I know I have 4 models the mistake I made at the start was trying to do it on the cheap no good. One model company which does seem cheap but good quality is rsjets I have one of there migs which is currently being reviewed in rcji cheap hense alot of work needs to be done - put a wren 14lb thrust in it and away you go. Have a look on the jma website for info on rsjets they also do an F16


good luck
