Haven't got mine yet, I talked to John at Skymaster about a week ago and he has 10 F16 airframes that will ship before the Chinese holiday starts. So it should just be a couple of weeks before it arrives. ;-) Cant wait to see this big boy!!

No. SM will refer you to Details 4 scale. I do not know the reason why they will not offer this option. I did email Dan from Details 4 Scale and he does have the light kit for the SM 1/5 F-16 at $385

That is good to hear for those that are just ordering. I was waiting for a quote for a long time to have the factory installed lights but they were not offering it the time I ordered back in Oct I wish I was informed that they were going to offer it this soon. Paint is complete on my F-16 and appears to be ready to ship. I don't know where they actually install the lights during the build process but I would have been willing to wait another couple of weeks for the lights

I will be using a Kingtech 210. Should be plenty of power clean with no ordinance.

John informed me a few days ago that lights will not be ready for several months.

Anton, it looks like the manual is missing some pages? On page 14 it references p32 to ensure the elevator is clipped in place before flight?

I didn't see anywhere else in the manual that discusses this process?

Can you clarify?

Thanks

Craig

Hi,

p32 = picture 32. Skymaster utilize a mechanism for easy removal of stab for transport. It is important to make sure the stab is positively clipped in....
