How does a jet help? I believe both the PSA jets and the JS jets have
approximately the same climb altitude, ~1500m, and range ~110km? See

Performance seems about the same, the biggest difference as I can tell is
trading reliability for cruise speed.


A jet will get you out of bad air quicker due to higher cruising speed -
minimally more drag than FES and less when stowed.......simples -JS1 has
250 km range I believe .............. - Anything to say a jet is less
reliable
than FES, where is the data? or just simple speculation from a biased
observer?
