Default Skymaster small F-15



Hello

Does anyone have any info or any idea when this will be available. It was on display at Jetpower 2007 in Germany.

Thanks
Paul

Hi

I was there with Paul at Jetpower and we are both interested about the small F15. Anton gave us some information about the model but that was it.
There is still nothing on Skymaster website about it.
Here it is from another angle.


Regards

Zack

Hello

Well the one there was for a bifurcated pipe and tailerons but it was the prototype. Anton seemed very keen about it there but since then........no news.


Thanks

My mate bought this model at the show and will be using a wren 44 for power. He is building at the moment so it should be flying soon.

I will ask him but as far as I am aware he does not use the forums. I was flying today and he was at the club and mentioned the model is still being built. If I see him next week I will ask if he will post some pictures or send them to me and I will post them.

As far as I am aware this model is a pre production unit (from the display at Jetpower) so not sure what will be different if anything on the released version.

Thanks

The model built by a member of my club crashed on its first flight (this was the model purchased from Jetpower). The hatch came off in flight and jammed on the fins resulting in loss of control and the model was destroyed.

I did not see the flight but I was told the hatch failed due to a factory fitted part and the owner has emailed Anton regarding the issue.

Hopefully the production models will be improved.

I was also looking forward to the release of this smaller F15. I am sure it would be a big seller. There is not much available in scale type jets of this size. The current offerings have been around for ages & the newer ones are too small for my liking.
I am sure there must be a production problem, or Anton would surely have released it by now.
