Can't Decide...
 
Hey,

I can't decide between the new SM 1/6th F-16 Falcon and the F-4. I love both planes. I'm hoping some of you guys who've assembled them can chime in with your cheers and/or jeers. I've got engines and equipment for either, so that's not a factor, but just when I think I've settled on one airframe, the other one keeps poking! Little help? :D

Sean,
I would expect the rep to fly an F-4. That's a man's plane.....LOL

LOL,

Yeah, that's what my stepdad used to always say! He drove them beasts back in the day. Does it matter that I'm just a dealer and not a Rep? :D Oh, what's the difference anymore, right? Okay, so one vote for the Phantom!

In my mind there is no doubt - I own the 1/6 F-16 and I want the F-4, but always, even from experience, will place the F-16 first,
it'a great plane, flies great. looks the part and just is a joy to own - start with the F-16 and go for the F4 later!!! :D

Thanks!

Keep the votes coming! Anyone had both and can share a comparison? Flight? Maintenance? Assembly ease?

Since most of us have, or had, F-16's .....someone needs to step out of the crowd and do something different... Go for the Phantom.

I'm with Buck,

Get the Rhino. I have a 1/6th F-16 coming for a customer in the Tiger Meet scheme. Haven't seen it yet, so I can't say how it assembles. The F-4 has been here for a while. Fitting a new chute system, operating canopies and a full lighting pkg. to it. Should make it stand out in a crowd. Good luck choosing.:D

Hi Dan:
Will you be posting the Phantom on your web page

Thanks,,,, Dave

Hi Dave,

Yes, the F-4 will be on the website when it's finished. It's an ARF plus, so it already had a paint job when I got it. It's the Jolly Roger scheme. I would rather have it in Camo, but the JR looks pretty nice. I'm adding a bunch of scale stuff to it, along with a dirtier weathering job. It'll be for sale when it's done. By the way, I have a supplier for the quick disconnects you were asking about. Send me an e-mail to reply to and I'll send the info to you. [email protected]

Hi Joe,

I'm working on sets for the BVM F-4 right now for Billy Harrod and Patrick Frost. I should have everything finished in the next week or so. Waiting on some video of Steve Unze's F-4. He's been testing the Autochute II unit and it's worked out great in his Phantom. All the info will be up on the website when the parts are completed.

Dan
