See if you can get a hold of a BVM Maverick, they are great starters, they fly excellent and are very very forgiving.


Good Luck and welcome................... Johnny Hernandez

Is a Regal Eagle from Parkinson any good as a first DF?

Regal Eagle
 
I have not owned one but I have read MANY threads on people flying them and they say it is an excellent starter jet. Only problem is it takes quite a bit of time to construct because it's all wood. I have a parkinson Barracuda and it's the same way.
Good luck!:)

Get a Top Gun F15. They are easy to build and will land slow ( like a sport plane).

I had a Regal Eagle in 1990-with a Byron fan-Rossi.81-13lbs-flew really well-top speed 125-130mph-lands around 25mph-but I had flaps on mine too.I would scratch build me oneagain if I can find the time-they are so easy to build -just a box with rounded corners-you could build one for $100 or less.

Another winner believe it or not and it build really fast and the $$$ Is very very reasonable is the Yellow Aircraft Starfire.


F-15's of course are always the most friendly flyers in the Jet arena.

Good Luck ......... Johnny Hernandez

you might look at JHH for a first DF

www.jethangar.com

Their new ARF Hawk is perfect for a first DF. Sabre is a good one too.

Balsa USA Enforcer
 
Another option you might want to try is the Balsa USA Enforcer converted to DF.
Relatively easy to build and they have great performance!
