Doesn't it make sense, that if you're going to post videos of aircraft in development, for marketing reasons, that SkyMaster make an investment in a higher quality video camera?! I am very interested in this model, but the quality of the video is very disappointing.

Congrats on the successful flight!

How about less 80mph 2 minute flights and more 200mph 8 minute flights with rolls and loops?
the video quality and test flying style is tiresome.

Agreed. Please also test this aircraft with a 200 class turbine, as that is most likely what the majority of these jets will be powered with in the field. I'd like to know that the structure can handle the stress of a more powerful turbine than the 170.

How much throttle we're you using during that flight? The ground handling is certainly better now, but it is still sitting too low at the front. Is it possible to get the nose a bit higher?

Could you please post some photo's showing all the hatches you have on the jet - it will be good to know how much working space and also installation space there is.

Thanks for sharing your developments with us, it certainly is a lot more than most other manufacturers will do.

Cheers,

Jan

Thank you for your suggested,

That poor weather conditions and air pollution seriously I almost lost the F-104, because i can not see it in the sky well, some time i want to guess aircraft posture, Fly less than 200 meters is almost unknown aircraft position even the camera could not capture it,

Flying through the air when I had used the 2/3 to 3/4 thrust,

I will be flying again after the F-104 painted, this time only test the slat for take off and landing,

Best regards

Anton

yes, we put the too much air in the hydrupic main Oleo legs , the Main Oleolegs little hard and nose oleo leg little soft , i will suggest to Likai about the nose weight and dry weight for adjust the air inside,

i will post some pictures here, Thank you,

Best regards

Anton

Very nice. But don't you think that you will loose some cooling around the jet pipe with the exhaust setup. Can't see that too well, please take a photo from the back to show us how you are mounting the exhaust nozzle. It will also be good to see th nose section closer.

Regards,

Jan
