Looking for a new jet, the only one I have now is the Freewing F86 80mm, just looking for advice on what a good next step would be in Edf's

I got the twin 80mm F-14 after I was confident with the Sabre, and it is a good step up. I asked the same question over on RCG a while back and the general consensus was that the T-45 and F-15 were the best next step, but that didn't stop me from getting the Tomcat.. The big difference with the F-14 is inertia. It is a big, heavy plane that takes a while to speed up or slow down. The others are a bit lighter and might make a better next step. However, the F-14 really does fly nice with the wings extended especially.

My experience of owning and flying several sorties is limited to the 90mm F-16, F-18 and F-15. The 90mm F-18 and F-15 are total *****cats and very well behaved. The F-16 is more temperamental and you have to understand how she wants to land or prepare for some unhappy landings. Once you "get it" she too is easy to fly and land. I am looking to snag the F-14 soon. I've flown the T-45 and F-86 and they are both fun, easy flyers for larger EDF jets.
Here's my order I would put these jets in starting with easiest to fly:
F-86
T-45
F/A-18
F-15C
F-16C
And from all I've read and seen in video I would put the F-14 in between the F-15 and F-16.My YouTube RC videos:

Cost can definitely be a deterrent no doubt. However, if you can get some experience in the 64mm/70mm EDF class and you can fly jets in the sim without problem, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.My YouTube RC videos:

The F15 was my second EDF..just bought the A10,so maybe Im going backwards,but had to have one..and since they didnt have it in 80 or 90mm lol guess the hardest thing about the F15 to me is keeping my flight times down.. theyre just over too fast!www.TSHobbies.com
