| RC jets are by far the most exciting and exhilarating | | | | real jet fuel and run just like a real jet engine does. For |
| of any remote control airplane that a person can fly. | | | | hobbyists who want the realistic jet flying experience, |
| Radio controlled jets come in many different sizes, | | | | this type of R/C jet is for you. Of course, you need |
| engine types and shapes. The most amazing thing | | | | experience flying and operating remote control |
| about these toy jets are that they can reach speeds | | | | airplanes before you progress to turbine ducted jets. |
| of up to 100 miles per hour! Of course that isn't the | | | | The speeds of turbine engines are very fast and can |
| average speed for all remote control jets, but it does | | | | actually turn your model jet into a lethal weapon if you |
| give you an idea of what you can do in the future | | | | can't fly it properly. This means that you could get |
| when you get to be a more experienced pilot. | | | | seriously injured if you don't know what you are doing. |
| So you want to fly RC jets? Well then I can help you | | | | So if you are going to get into remote control jets, |
| by teaching you the basics that you need to know too | | | | start with a pusher, then progress to a ducted fan jet. |
| get started. First off, you need to learn about the | | | | After you have gained experience from those crafts, |
| different types of RC jets that exist on the market, | | | | then you should move onto turbine ducted engines. |
| and what type of engine powers them. | | | | The next important thing to discuss is about RC jet |
| Ducted fan jets are the most popular among hobbyist, | | | | maintenance and what you need to do too take care |
| and are very easy to fly also. Plus, they are a lot less | | | | of your jet properly. You should always use a good, |
| dangerous, since the propeller and engine is located | | | | high quality, fuel that has the right amount of oil in it. |
| inside of a duct, which protects adults and children | | | | Also, make sure turbine ducted engines have the |
| from it. Ducted fan jets also are very quiet and | | | | proper fuel and air mixture going through its engine. |
| operate smoothly, requiring very little maintenance and | | | | Another good maintenance tip is to keep your engine |
| fine tuning. | | | | properly tuned if it is a fuel powered turbine jet, but if it |
| The next type of jet is called pusher jets, and they are | | | | is electric, just make sure that you keep it in a cool dry |

| jets are. RC pusher jets have a propeller dead center | | | | Remote control jets can be so fun sometimes that it is |
| in the back of them that just pushes it along through | | | | scary, but every flyer needs to always keep in mind |
| the air. Plus, with an aerodynamic design, it gives the | | | | that it can be dangerous if flown near people, because |
| jet that extra speed and maneuverability that we all | | | | of the speed of them. Also, remember that jet engines, |
