RE: Best flying skymaster?
Best flyer and best suited to your experience level, field and turbine is the Viper ( and I have flown/ owned all of the currently available skymaster range of models) Next I think is the MB339. The draw back with both of them is the reason why they are so good..... Size. Bigger is better! All round, apart from transport. but to be fair the main issue with carrying the viper around is length ( as the stabs and rudder are off in just three screws ) I have a viper jet in my shop right now and it really is not that much longer than the Eurosport that I have on the shelf below.
My advice would be suffer the extra inconvenience of transport and storage in order to get the better flying, easier to operate and so much better looking in the air and on the ground larger model.
Hope this helps?
