Just wondering if there are any differences between the design, paint job, decals & accessories of the 2.
I never owned a classic one so I'm wondering if those that did will miss anything when they buy the new one. [Assuming they no longer have their classic version.] |

Original is a 2 seater with parachute, body does not separate aft of the canopy, has paracutes, and has a simpler cockpit.
New one is a one seater with more detailed cockpit, no parachutes, has more removable parts, body designed to split aft of the canopy and everything looks to be more structurally enhanced/reinforced. Main notable difference is the new one is a one seater. |

Also, the new one has black tail fins, where the original had white ones.

New one comes with different decal sets to allow for customized decorations.

Most notably the new one can be bought misb for less than 50 while the old one can barely be found complete for under 150

THANK YOU, everyone for your responses. I apologize for this sorely delayed reply.
I really appreciate your feedback. Gives me food for thought. TFM P.S. Whose names were on the old school SkyStriker? I assume Ace's was on the front portion of the cockpit. Whose name was on the back portion? |
