Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know of my experience ordering a Skymaster F-16. We're quick to post negative things and I'm making this post because of the positive experience I had with Skymaster.
I've never built an ARF in 50+ years of modeling so, at the prodding of my son, who calls me a dinosaur cause I still build; I thought I'd get one. After doing some research, I narrowed it down to the 1/6th Skymaster F-16 for two reasons: one, I fly off grass and liked the idea the l/g was mounted in the fuse and I could strengthen/ repair it easily and two, even though the F-16 has been done to death, there are some really neat color schemes out there.
After reading the various posts about Anton and Skymaster, I was leery about going through with the purchase, but then I realized that the problem was one of poor communications and not an issue with delivery.
I contacted Anton and got a price; I wired him the money and received the F-16 today. The communication between Anton and me was fine and the model is terrific.
The whole ordering process was simple and I got exactly what I ordered, a great model!
I would recommend Skymaster to any one interested in a quality ARF.
BRG,
Jon

John good luck with the F-16, you'll love it
I picked up an x-treme jets Rafale at FJ and could not be happier with the quality of the kit and paint.

I would ditto your experience with Skymaster..........I emailed Anton....got a price....wired the money...ten days later I had my F-16......Anton did everything he said he would and more........and in addition I love my 1/6 scale F-16.....the construction quality and paint job quality are both excellent and the plane was a hit at Florida Jets........I think we will see many more of the Skymaster Plus models at future jet meets

Hi F106A,
It's good to hear what you have to say about the kit. Anton has put in a huge amount of work and investment to ensure that the ARF PLUS range is good quality and what the discerning ARF buyer wants.
Good luck!
