I had a BVM F-4 and currently have a Skymaster F-4. For all around flying, the Skymaster F-4. Not a speed machine like the BVM, but easier to see and much more forgiving in the landing sequence. The BVM glass quality is better than SM but expect an 8 month to 1 year build time. The SM can be ready to fly in a month and the gear has stood up to some of my less than perfect landings. Both have good points, but as I mentioned before, if you're looking for an F-4 that you can fly as a regular weekend jet and feel very comfortable flying it, SM is the choice.

Hey Rex....I didn't know that was you peeping in my bedroom window!
