JET Question
 
I think if you will go to a jet event you will be much more likely to see a Starfire than a Cobra. The starfire is a proven design.

JET Question
 
I would not recommend Hurricane Jets.

I placed an order with them about 1 1/2 years ago for the Cobra jet along with the 6" fan unit they offered. I was disappointed when a partially filled jet kit arrived. It took me 2 months of calling and emailing Wayne to get the remaining parts / items that were suppose to be in my order. The instructions for the kit are not detailed and mostly text. The wood pieces such as framers and wing spars were hand cut instead of high quality laser cutting of most kits on the market today. The 6" fan unit was basically a Tupperwear container with an engine mount attached inside. The fiber glass work was good on the fuselage, but the inlet ducting did not match up correctly to the fan and the thrust tube liner was very flimsy.

I would go with a more reputable company, such as Yellow Aircraft and their StarFire.

Starfire!
 
You will never regret having chosen the Starfire. A very nice kit with great instructions and good parts fit.
