Skymaster all the way. Seen the plane and all I say is wow.
The landing gear is also better than SOME other manufacturers.

Hi
I can't indicate about the other, only about what we own.
We, my partner and I, own the Fei Bao Panther, and with the Evojet 140
it is a very good combination.
It has a very good appearance in the sky, fly like it is on rails, and no bad flight behavior.
Very nice plane.

The Panther is one of those designs that just works so well as a scale model. The Panther is equally at home on turf or hard surface and has very good flight qualities.

I have friends that have a Ziroli, PST and a Sky Master (SM) and they perform in the same manner as my Fie Bao Panther I picked up used last year. All of these airframes operate off our local turf runway without issue. Mine is powered by a Jet Central Super Eagle (30#).

If your a builder, you cannot go wrong with the Ziroli kit, if not, any of the others will be a good choice.

While the Fie Bao does have panel lines, rivets and raised surface detail, it does not have the level of finished surface detail of the SM and that's ok for me. I dressed up my Panther with a set of scale decals from Rolf @ Tailor Made decal which really transformed it's scale appearance with very little effort and cost.

With the varied pricing and scale detail levels of the forementioned kit offerings, I'm sure you will find what your looking for no matter which Panther you chose

Best Regards,

Kerry S.

P.S. I see your located just below Albany, NY. I will be attending the Frankfort / Highland Jet Rally just West of Herkimer, NY on May 31, June 1 and 2. Stop by and we can chat as I will have my Panther present. It appears to be less than a 2 hour drive (100 miles) for you. See the Jet event calander for more details and directions on the Rally.
