GENTLEMEN, LOOKING FOR YOUR EXPIERENCES, RECCOMENDATIONS ON A F-4
FLYING? QUALITY? ISSUES? LOOKING AT SOMTHING TO PUT A P160 IN
SKYMASTER, BVM, FEI BAO, FLY EAGLE...



rbxbear44 -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (11/30/2011 10:34 PM)

Skymaster all the way! I loved mine. Flew it with a Jet Central Rhino and plenty of power. Would suggest a Tam pipe for it...always a must on a bifurcated setup for better performance IMO. Flies really well, good construction, good gear. The install is a bit tighter than you would think but enough room for everything and some bling too.

SM's F-4 is a proven airframe for a while now, can't go wrong. Not a good first jet but a great one to have in the quiver.

Good luck,
Rex



Greg Wright -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (11/30/2011 10:45 PM)

I can only say BVM is the only real proven airframe out there because it has been around for atleast fifteen years or more. i don't exactly remember what year it came out but it started life as a ducted fan dream machine and it has turned into a turbine BAD ASS Rhino. Yes there is quite a bit of building to do on it but if built properly (per his instructions) you will have a plane that will last years. It is also more scale than any ARF out there.



DavidR -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (11/30/2011 11:28 PM)

My BVM F4 is 11 years old, it is definitely a build job so if you are looking for an ARF this ones not it. But if you want to build an F4 it's the candidate.

AndyAndrews -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 12:05 AM)

I fly a Skymaster. Its been a great jet. Once you get the CG its rock solid. BVM makes the most scale version IMO. But it's a little smaller. A 36 lb turbine would be awsome on a BVM. I'm using a Kingtech K-170 in mine and its plenty of power. Just can't do complete vertical rolls without the jet washing out on the top. But the vertical is pretty if you go full throttle into it.




AndyAndrews -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 12:08 AM)

... double post.



JetsRC -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 1:19 AM)

I have my Skymaster F-4 for around 5 years now it really flies very well and from all the jets I have owned it is the only one I have never sold.

Rock solid, easy to fly, no bad tendencies... a denfinetly winner...

jet time -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 6:14 AM)

I have an FEJ and it's a great Phantom but to big for the P-160. I had a Skymaster as well with the 160sx and it really was great. I loved it and now the 2nd owner is enjoying it as well. Nice jet for sure.

dubd -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 6:26 AM)

I love my Skymaster F-4! I've had it for 3 years and put tons of flights on it. The plane has been very dependable. I have a P-200 for power and I feel it's the perfect match.



David Jackson -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 4:44 PM)

Skymaster F-4 is a good plane with no nasty habits if setup properly. Mine is powered with a US Mircojet 400 and it is flown from a 400' runway. You will love it.

David, when did you get this one? That is similar to the first one I had. I love the Coral Sea themes.



dubd -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 6:18 PM)

The Coral Sea scheme is one of my favorites!

Hi Andy,

I remember watching the video of yours disappearing behind some trees and then if by magic, reappearing and being landed safely. If only I could be so lucky. It took me nearly 7 years to even consider buying another Skymaster plane after a less than satisfying experience ($5000 up in smoke) with their Bae Hawk. But anyway, I bought this plane from Rex a couple of years ago, and I'm glad I did.

David



WhoDaMan -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/1/2011 11:59 PM)

Jet Legend all the way, built off Hasegawa plans, pretty darn close to scale



AndyAndrews -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/2/2011 2:57 AM)

This Skymaster theme is very interesting.

Countryboy -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/2/2011 9:24 AM)

Dave,

If I can get out of the work thing Saturday, Lewis & I will be headed back down to Lebanon/Springfield to get a few more flights in on the JL-F-4. I believe Lewis will will also be bringing his FeiBao F-4.



WhoDaMan -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/2/2011 2:31 PM)

very good Ronnie. I hope you guy's can get some vid for us



MNModels -> RE: F-4 RECCOMENDATIONS (12/3/2011 10:00 AM)

Hi,

Anton and I test fly the F4 JR in UAE Top Jet Event. The customer very happy and did some 3d flying with F4. I can confirm now that Skymaster F4 is VERY STRONG and very good flyer...
