ASIAN skymaster PROBLEMS
 
now i know why they's sooooo many BVM planes flying. BECAUSE YOU CAN GET PARTS FOR THEM !!!!!!!!!!! can you believe i've been trying for 2 months to get a replacement canopy for my NEW VERSION skymaster f-16 . this is unbeliveable. I have have to say they're only a good deal if you can get service. i'm totally unimpressed. i think i could have rowed a boat over there and back by now. i'd laugh but it beyond that now. i just had to vent lol

I have a buddy trying to get a pipe for an ARF+ Gripen, he is having the same trouble. I wonder how many others there are that haven't spoken up.

Sorry to hear about it. I'm just glad I didn't jump on that wagon. How about trying to have one made local. Another friend of mine needed a HotSpot canopy and just gave them the old one and had three made, no problem.

Good luck!

RE: ASIAN skymaster PROBLEMS
 
Are you guys dealing directly with Anton-Skymaster or a dealer? We are an Authorized U.S Dealer for Skymaster. If you need parts we can contact and bug Anton to get those parts for you.
I’m not sure why people keep buying directly from Skymaster when there are Authorized dealers who can take your orders, process credit cards saving you wire transfer fees, and maybe saving you an additional few bucks off the price or shipping. Shipping time is usual the same, and if a part is missing, broken, wrong or just need a replacement. You have a U.S. phone number to call or email. Then it becomes our job to contact Anton to get those parts to you.
I’m getting ready to go out of town this weekend, but call or email me Monday, and I’ll see what I can do to help you out.

I have had 3 Skymaster jets - all bought through Michel at www.jetsrc.com in Chile. (And I'm living in Norway!!?)
The point is - whenever I have had any questions, need for new or extra parts or a new plane, I have always
had the answer or the parts here in a very short time and with excellent service. I guess it's a good idea to buy
from an authorized dealer who has direct and strong contact with Anton.

Eric, he did get the kit from you the other week and then called last week about a pipe and was told you didn't have them and you didn't know when or if you would get any. I'm not sure who he talked to, but I think it was woman and she wasn't much help. So, if you are sure you have the pipe, let me know and I'll have him call back. Who does he need to ask for?

I have tried for almost a full year to get some touch up paint for a F18F Diamondback. My dealers at that time were Dreamworks who got the A/C from Airpack. I talked to Anton at Florida Jets 07 and the paint was supposed to be on its way. As of today still no paint!

Steve,
With Skymaster changing factories almost as often as I change underwear, chances of you getting paint that matches is slim. If you take a color sample to your local automotive paint shop, they can color match in both single a dual stage paint. Only disadvantage is you will have to buy a pint minimum. They can even put the matched paint into a spray can for you if desired.... ;)

todds right, when i need paint i take the plane right to the auto paint supply store and they can scan it with a handheld scanner and give you a very close match .

I was the one who needed the Rail for my F-18. I E-mailed Anton and had it in a week or so. No sweat. Eric also was willing to get one for me.

anton , i do have one of your f-16 arf plus kits , i have to agree with you , they are nice planes . much better than the old versions.

RE: ASIAN skymaster PROBLEMS
 
I have both old SM F15 and the new SM F16. The quality is much better on the new F16. I agree with Anton about the quality problems with these OEM factories in China. I have done business in China for many years and run my own factories after these Chinese OEM factories failed to perform over time. They will give you a perfect sample then give you poor quality products when they mass produce them. The problem is the Chinese management mentality. They are more in the short quick bucks than building quality and reputation. I guess this quality problem happens in many industries. I trust Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, and American run companies over there more than trusting the mainlanders. Of course there are always exceptions, but too few. For jets, I would rather pay 10% to 25% more for quality kits from reputable companies than things coming out of the unknown. Of course, good service is very important too.

Anton, do you hear me? I'm still waiting for your reply for buying your F18 without landing gear sets. I have been waiting for 3 weeks for a quote. I even went to Shanghai Model Expo to look for it. People told me you were there, but I did not see you. Keep up with good quality planes and service. Now I am back in the States, so I guess I need to find your Xtreme Jet dealers in the States, then.

Thanks,

Mike
