keep in mind that i have never flown a plane before... Jet's aren't for you, right now that is. Please check out the GWS Slow Stick or GWS Tiger Moth. Come back in about 1 or 2 months and ask the same question. Not trying to be mean, but i want to save you allot of money and heart ach.

SMART MAN!

how about getting a RTF super star?

NOT MUCH TALK ABOUT THAT PLANE. BUT IF YOU GO TO www.servocity.com YOU CAN GET THE PLANE FOR $115.00 W/ FREE SHIPPING! NOT BAD AT ALL. YOU GET THE PLANE, MOTOR, ESC, BATTERY! NICE DEAL!

i will fly it for like a year...

WON'T NEED THAT LONG, MAYBE A MONTH OR SO!

then can i get the kyosho F16 ducked fan?

I WOULD SUGGEST SOMETHING LIKE A SKYSCOOTER OR CRAZYMAX. AILERON TRAINER. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO USE YOUR GEAR FROM THE SUPERSTAR. THE CRAZY MAX IS ONLY $49.00!

i heard kyosho makes crap planes?

NEVER OWNED ONE, SO I CAN'T JUDGE! BUT THERE'S ALLOT OF NICE JETS OUT THERE!

is there any other jets?
I JUST PICKED THIS UP. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/projeti.htm

NOT A REAL "SCALE LIKE JET" BUT THIS THING IS FAST! AND FLIES TRUE. REALLY EASY TO FLY AND HAS GOOD AERBATICS. BEST/FASTEST FOAMIE OUT OF THE BOX W/ NO MODS. 7 ONLY $89.00

GOOD LUCK. www.comeparkfly.com

if you havn't bought a plane yet and want a jet I would get the gws a-10 warthog when it comes out there is a thread in the park and backyard flyers form about it. I have the slow stick and love it even though I havn't flown it yet (no radio coming in in a couple of weeks:D ) I hope this helped alot.

EAM has a stock of Watt-age Mirage (Not a new comers plane)
Watt-age F-22 - good Jet. Pico Jet, electra Jet.

The Wattage F-22 is a propjet, but when you get adventurous like me, take a cordless drill with a hole saw and poke a hole in the rear of the fuselage. The Wattge fan unit fits in nicely with a rolled paper exhaust tube. It flies better than their F-86.

Racer Boy,

I don't know if you are still looking for scale electirc jets F-14??
Try http://www.jethangar.com (http://) They have what you are looking for without all that other Cr@p to distract you. I saw the tomcat at the last show in Pasadena, Ca. and all I can say is Impressive! Swinging wings, twin electrics with thrust to blow your hat off if your on the business end when that switch is hit. They carry a few brands for electrics and scale ducted fan A/C like no other company.

You can look on www.rcjets.com for other jets. Check out Bob Parkinsons site. Bob's a friend of mine & has some good entry level jets. I started with his Regal Eagle years ago & still fly it today. He has a NEW Electric Twin F-15 called the "Royal Eagle". It's a smaller version of the Regal Eagle for $229.00 USD. I would HIGHLY suggest you start with a high wing trainer, then go to a mid wing then low wing airobatic type plane before you go into jets. Just a suggestion, because it could save you lots of $$$$$$$ by taking a little more time learning the basics before jumping into high speed planes or jets.
