Cool Skymaster USA!

Its official Dirk and Barry have started Skymaster USA for everyone's needs. This is not part of Kingtech USA. A new website is now up and running. You can check and see what models are going to be ariving on the first container.

Also on this website you can buy the new T-one along with other accessories and Kngtech engines.

This should be exciting and service should be top notch.

Allot of the first container is sold already.

Barry ordered some custom F18 schemes that look very good. Get your orders in while you can.

Call or email Dirk and he can help you out. The two custom schemes on the first container I think are both sold already. If you get an order in quick Dirk might be able to squeeze it into this first container. I think he said he had a few cougars getting added to this first container.

Thank you all for your support guys, Dirk and I are looking forward of working with you. YB, if you have a custom scheme, send it over to me or Dirk, let's submit it and look into it.

Cheers,
Barry

I appreciate the response amigos, I was mostly curious what process you guys required for a custom scheme. I look forward to seeing the big hornet in person before I submit a custom scheme. Where will those first birds be headed?

I saw Jim Martin fly his at Kentucky and I was very impressed. Was very surprised how low the wingloading was. It was like a big trainer jet. I bet high alpha will be very good with it.

I concur, how impressive and forgiving it looked at such slow speeds.

Barry

Nothing happened to Chief, and they are still selling Skymaster planes as far as we know, along with all the other S.M. Dealers. Thank you to everyone that is supporting our decision to jump in and startup www.skymasterusa.com. I'm sure inquiring minds want to know, so here it is:

Barry was contacted by T-ONE models to sell the new T-1. Barry had asked me to join him in this business venture as we have done a pretty good job with KingTech and why not keep the same MOJO going. I had the opportunity to head over to Taiwan to visit the KingTech Factory with Barry a few months ago, and what a visit it was to see all the exciting new product they are working on. It was killing me to keep all this new stuff under wraps, like our new ECU & GSU electronics package, giving a reduction in our prices and including the new electronics. And trust me, they have more products in their bag that will be coming out soon!!
While we were over in Taiwan, we had the honors to sit and have lunch with Anton. We were telling Anton about our new venture that we were about to start with T-ONE Models and before you know it, we are talking about bringing Skymaster Jets into California by the Container. Anton was very supportive for Mr. Kim at T-ONE Models, and he supports us selling the T-1. Anton see's this will help to bring new people into our side of the jet community and that will be a benefit to everyone, to keep this hobby alive. Well, as some of you have seen on our website, www.skymasterusa.com, the container has been ordered and should be completed in October and heading this way. If all goes well, we are planning on a few containers a year and will keep inventory here in California, along with misc parts. We are already compiling a list of planes for the next container to be ordered prior to our 1st one leaving, to get the pipeline full.
We can take your order 2 ways,
1. Place the order and have it shipped via container and just pay shipping from California to your door.
2. Place the order and have it shipped DHL to your door. Either way you choose, we are only asking for a 30% deposit upfront and the remainder when it gets to California and is ready to continue to your doorstep, or when DHL picks it up. Remember, you will be paying the actual shipping from CA to your door by method of your choice, if you take the container route. Oh, and if you order the Pink F-18, we will ask for 100% upfront!!

I know we set up an E-Commerce site and it will ask for payment in full, if you check out with the cart on Skymaster purchases. Contact me for payment arrangements or special order needs. The nice thing about the shopping cart, is you can build your plane, how you want it, and don't have to email and wait for quote responses as all the options and pricing is right there, just fill up cart and look at the balance. The other reason we did the E-Commerce site, is there are a lot of things you can buy and pay for that will ship right away. If you are purchasing a T-1, we are asking for payment in full as they are shipped quickly and it is just easier this way. Well, that's our story, so feel free to contact Barry or myself with any sales questions.

Regards,

Dirk

Would it be possible to get landing gear parts? I'm in dire need of some scissor links for my F-15 struts. I might also be interested in ordering an L-39 or BAE Hawk to go along with it.
