RBC Jet Provost T-4

The BAC Jet Provost is a British jet trainer aircraft that was in use with the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1955 to 1993. It was originally developed by Hunting Percival from the earlier piston engine-powered Percival Provost basic trainer, and later produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). In addition to the multiple RAF orders, the Jet Provost, sometimes with light armament, was exported to many air forces worldwide. The design was also further developed into a more heavily armed ground attack variant under the name BAC Strikemaster.

The Jet Provost T-4 is an easy to build and fly kit that is a great choice for your first edf jet.  It has a wide flight envelope as it can serve as a trainer or turn up the speed and you have an aerobatic thrill ride.
