F-86 Which one to buy?
I wanna buy an F-86 arf and would like feedback as to which one would you guys buy?
BVM
Fei Bao
Skymaster.
I have experience with BVm product and know they are fantastic. But dont have any experience with the other two. Given prices and quality and flying charicteristics, which one would you think is the best buy.
BTW I want the smaller of the birds, not the 1/5th scale.

I have the FeiBao F-86, quality seems good, has Tams landing gear set and functioning speedbrakes. flies very well. weight is 28 pounds dry with a P-70. very happy with it.
the FeiBao is a little bigger than the Skymaster and BVM. surface detail on the two latter models is better, but both cost more.

All i can say is you get what you pay for. I've been in the hobby long enough to no that my clear choice would be to go with the BVM. I'm not trying to say that the other two are bad products i'm just saying that the quality & reliability and support that BVM gives you is the best bet for success. Just my opinion. This is a picture of my AFS version before they came out with the ARF. If you do one of the arf's go with a p-60 it's the perfect combo for the plane.I had a p-80 in mine made it to heavy with the extra fuel you needed for that motor. I sold it a year ago.

I noticed also thru the BVM website I was looking at the skymaster F-86. Can someone confirm the price? I saw that the ARF plus price for the F-86 was 2295.00 And it said that includes gear and al. Is that correct? I understand you get what you pay for but thats ALOT cheaper than the BVM. Just for the airframe and gear is more than 1k cheaper.
