Skymaster Viperjet 2M and 1/6.75 f-16 questions
i have both a skymaster viperjet 2M and a new Extreme jets 1/6.75 F-16 first.. i was wondering what kind of luck people were having with the supplied Air Accessories ,like the air line ,retract valves,air line connectors, and gear door cylinders . Next .. I have a kingtech 120G and a Jetcat RX140 and i'm on the fence about what should go in what. i want the power for the f-16 but i want to keep the weight down but i want to put the 120 in the viper so i don't have to carry a lot of fuel as i want this to be a short ,grass runway ,everyday jet. so and thoughts?

AIrlines need to go, Left mine in my 2M Viper for the first year but it all started going south after that. Lines splitting and such. The valve are not that great either, I would use other stuff.. The Tee's never came into play, but I would replace all the airline and tee's with the good stuff. The biggest issue We've seen in all the Skymaster & Extreme is the door hinges .. Very weak and brittle. Have replaced many. Also the arms that the air cylinder piston attaches to on the doors.... I keep DuBro 1/2A conrtol horns on hand to replace those...
