All,
I've been flying rc for quite some time now. The only edf I ever flew was when the habu came out. It was fun to fly and very easy but I ended up moving and got out of rc all together. I came back flying 2 summers ago but only war bird prop planes and a 3d timberx which I am getting my 3d skills in. Knife edges, inverted flying, and just starting to learn to hover. I would like to dip my toes into EDFs. Every thread I have read says to start with an Avanti, l39, or an A10. I have watched videos on all of them and while they are nice they seem like they would get boring kind of quick as they seem slow and pretty easy to fly. Honestly a few of my war birds looked harder to fly and land haha.. If I had to say I was leaning towards one, I'd almost say the L39 because it seems the most nimble of the bunch and you can get it in a military type. I do believe my RC piloting skills are pretty dang good and I think I'd be able to handle a more advanced jet but definitely looking for all your advice. It seems the major difference in planes and EDFs is landing in a high alpha setting. My air field is a rectangle that is 750 yards left to right by 350 yards out with a 250 yard highly maintained grass runway strip that is almost putting green like. What jets do you all think I should go for with out possibly getting bored really quick? I'm in an area where selling planes is not likely to happen (rc is not popular here) so whatever jet I get I will likely be stuck with for some time.
