Son of a....

My initial inquiry started back on June 9 by emailing the address [email protected] which was one of 3 email addresses on the Skymaster site, F-5 / F-20 page -
http://www.skymasterjet.com/f5.htm

Was he still a dealer in June 2014? Is this the "live" Skymaster site?

Time to start the PayPal process. Thank you so much for the heads up!

Before I go, can you give me a list of REPUTABLE Skymaster dealers? Or can I order direct from you?

UPDATE...

To all curreent customers that have SKYMASTER orders.
we are currently working to finish up orders with SKYMASTER. Unfortunately we are finding out that there are are some orders that did not process for production and we will be working with the customers to get this Situation dealt with ASAP

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. SKYMASTER is still a very reputable company. This was unfortunately due to other issues.

thank you.

Hey folks, new to this thread. Bought a Skymaster Viperjet 2.6M at Buttonwillow, and was looking for a forum thread to that airplane. Anyone know where to find that specific thread?

Thanks!

Mike,

I've ordered 2 jets from Skymaster and dealt directly with John both times. Both times everything went really well. John has always answered all my questions promptly and been very helpful with the few minor issues I've had. Both experiences were very positive and the service I received both before and after the sale has been outstanding..

Ghiamonster

Oh, I have no doubt. Had I known that I could have dealt directly I would have. Wasn't aware Violett was a dealer either or I would have dealt with him.
I just feel like I'm led on and lied to. According to Jeff, HE stopped dealing (2 months ago) with SkyMaster because of all
the "issues" he had with them. Nice that we could have mentioned that sometime in our correspondence.J

John's statement on the other hand would lead me to believe that SkyMaster dropped RC Turbine Jets as a dealer.

Please believe me, I have NO problems SkyMaster at this point. Jeff sent an email to me explaining that he has multiple pending orders and myp
lanes is on this list. Says if they indeed haven't started my order he'd refund the deposit. Once I get that back I'll deal with John directly.

Was really hoping to have this thing in the air BEFORE the end of the year.

Hi Mike,

Let me know if you need help in getting SM over here. We are also a dealer for SM product line. Our website would be updated with SM line for 2015. We have some containers coming out from China regularly, so we can piggy back your order to California. You can either go through us or John directly. Regardless, we can help you get your jet over. Contact [email protected] and ask for Jose or Wendy. They will help you out.

Regards

Mike

When I ordered my EDF Viperjet I had to wait 6 month and I paid in full at the time of purchase. Sometime good things take time. I had to email the vendor ( here in US ) and ask for updates

Ghiamonster

Thank you very much! As soon as I can get my deposit back I'll be in the market!
At this point even if RCJT indicates success in getting SkyMaster to build the plane, I just don't trust him anymore. Too many inconsistencies in all the communications
I've had in the last month and a half.

Thanks again,
Mike

Viper would be my other choice. I notice the required thrust is 16-21lb - a 120 I'd imagine? I've got a Kingtech 140 (30lb). Would this fit? Even if it did, I'd suppose the
fuel requirement would shorten flights a bit considering it's probably got a tank sized for the smaller engine? Putting smoke on whichever plane I end up with so there's
a fuselage space consideration as well.

Thank you NICKELUP!

John has helped me out on all three of my SM orders. No problems and good communications.

I have bought two from SM thru BVM in the past year. Both deals went as described. Delivered in a atimely fashion and the communication was great. Patty stays on top of it. No problems with the SM / BVM relationship as far as I am concerned and would not hesitate to do business with them again.

Same here I purchased a 2m Viper (yes a 120-140 will fit no problem) from BVM excellent quality and all was a smooth transaction working with Patty. I will purchase my next jet (1/6 F-16 ) from them.

FenderBean

hmmm i have run into a few small things dealing with them, painting before that got verification on the right colors and delays on shipping. Nothing major just annoying is all, still waiting on my avanti that was done over two weeks ago.

next time I will do things a little different but will still buy from them if they have what im looking for.

I ordered and paid for an A-10 EDF in January!!! Here it is October and I still have no ship. I don't understand how they can stay in business when it takes 9 plus months to produce 1 ship!!

johnzqh

It is surprising.The only A-10 EDF in productino now was ordered by BVM two weeks ago.Please check with seller you ordered through to see what happened.

Best regards

Hi All

In case of inconsistent infromation between end customer and factory,we have decided to build a tracking system on our website.In this tracking system,Once you enter the invoice number(issued by factory) and click,the status of kit order will display in front of you.If the status is not shown,it means the kit is not produced yet because order is not confirmed with payment.The systme is updated once a week.The system will be available shortly.We believe it will clear up inconsistency of communications and customers have correct infromation.

Best regards

I applaud Skymaster for providing this level of transparency. Its very worrisome if a customer cannot trust the local dealer to put their order with the mfg, leading to potentially losing their money (and yes, I have been there!)

I ordered thru RCjet turbine and Jeff assured me the plane was finished. Last Saturday he sent me pics of the ship that came from the factory. Are you telling me you don't have an A-10 edf with invasion stripes that I paid for being sent to me?
