Not the answer for everybody, but try a jet!


I think all of my buddies with jet (JS) have had at least one failure.
None of these contraptions is 100% or even close.
Plan A is always landing.
If it starts, be delighted.
WHEN it DOES NOT start, just finish the landing.

Be safe out there,
Best Regards, Dave


I've heard also that starting a jet (also JS) is far from foolproof. Apparently you have to sit trough whole start-abort-cycle and attempting restart takes very long time.
