I do not really want to get involve with internet arguments as they are pointless in my opinion. But since this whole threat is just one sided and seems a bashing of Skymaster name i should maybe set the record straight regarding the facts.

1. The Dragon and all jets talked about in this threat is not Skymaster, but Xtremejets. There is a huge difference in price between Skymaster and Xtreme.

So i put the question to the honoroble gentlemen: If the Dragon was 5000 usd, would you have bough it? Definatley not. You would have bough another cheap arf from china.

2. I would like to know how many of you have owned a Skymaster jet ( not airpac, hawai skymaster jet) to compare the difference between Xtreme and Skymaster? If you do not have, then you can not come on this threat as an expert to bad mouth the whole Skymaster range of jets.

3. The f100 was not designed by Skymaster. It was a Mibo F100 changed into arf by Skymaster R&D. This was well documented.

4. I told you before that nobody in the world have more hours on the Dragon then me. Why? Common sence. Like our German customer has pointed out. If you are buying a Jet model we (Skymaster) and I assume you are experience enough to know when or what parts are critical and MAYBE need attention. This is why you pay 1/2 the price of what you should have.

A Jet is not a 40 size arf trainer you can stick everything into and go fly. You need to be a level above. Or are you simply going blind into a build and hope for the best?

5. I have build and own 5 Dragons from various years. None of them have structurely failed. It was flown like a scale jet and i never had 3d aerobatics on airframe - so i can not help in that regard.

Lets put this into perspective:

Luis lost a Dragon to "structural" failure. The evidents will not even pass the prosecuters office. But you are all experts, i forgot. When he did not get the results from Skymaster he went puplic for support to discredit Skymaster.

Albert loss a wing in the air and his buddy claimed he know what happen. Just to later state that he was havung lunch and did not see it happen.... But since Skymaster have always listen to customers and fixed where they screwed up - i am sure Anton will come to meet you more than 1/2 way. When Alberts e-mails was not replied to, or he was waiting to long for answer, he went public to state his lost. Even though Anton did not receive his e-mails as John pointed out.

Then a Norwegian guy state that Dragons (multiple) have crashed due to "strange circumstances" I rest my case.

You know what - the stuff you people are smoking is too strong. If you have a problem sort it out with the factory. There are various ways to get hold of these people. And i am everyday on RCU. But it is much easier to get attention you desire on puplic forums and will not help your cause in solving your lost.

So go ahead and bash Skymaster for all you want now - at least the other side of the story is here to read for those of us that actually own Skymaster jets and are very happy with them. By far the best ARF in the east not by a little - but enormously...

Anton and Skymaster do care for every customer. But the laguage thing is a big problem. So give them some credit for servicing the Jet world for over 10 years and brought Jets to the normal pilots - that would never have been able to afford it.

May the force be with you...
