newbie's question

This is very expensive. Try

well, i realize that. i saw the scaled RC models on TV. they taxi on the runway, take off by themselve, land on the runway by themselve ... i am very intersted ...

expensive, what kind of money are u talking about?

i am newbie on the RC thing and i ma interested in R/C jet, like f-15, f-18, something like that. where should i start? where should i get more information? i would like ot do some research first ....

thanks. ======================== For a true turbine powered jet, you will spend several thousand dollars and have a machine that requires a huge amount of skill and knowledge to fly.

If you're new, check

If you are a newbie, don't start with a jet.

Unless its a propellor driven thing - they work fairly well. Ducted fans etc are tricky to get flying and expebnsive, and turbines are very expensive and dangerous in inexperienced hands.

Jets huh?

These are both real turbine powered jets. Hardcore stuff. You wanna learn to fly on some kinda trainer plane, get a stunt plane, then maybe a ducted fan type. A ducted fan uses a regular 2 stroke airplane engine spinning a fan (get this..) in a duct. When mounted inside a plane you get appearance of a proper jet without the cost & hassle. Oh, and Nothing flys or lands itself.

Start with a basic prop-driven trainer. You second plane sould be a low wing sport plane, then you can start thinking about jets. Dr.1 Driver "There's a Hun in the sun!"

Your first research should be at your local bank. Check the availability of second mortgages. Jets are neat, but EXPENSIVE!

Dave,

Jets are cool-looking, but trust me, you'll have your hands full learning to fly with the typical high-wing, propellor-driven trainer. Jets are fast, expensive, and not for newbies. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but remember, those full-scale jet jocks started out flying high-wing trainers.
