Expected to be about 3K for ARF (kit, Landing gear, Fuel tank, Smoke tank, extensions, Thrust vector system and quick connect system, Wing and elevator bags. Maybe fuselage bag as well.

I like the looks, more specs please, and will it be available without the thrust vectoring?

The TV is a bolt on - so you have the option to install it or leave it off. All details on the Skywing website. Extreme Flight should have them in the next few weeks.

The link wasn't working for me yesterday, but it is now. Looks like a very well thought out equipment install. The amount of stuff that's included is impressive. It's nice to see someone coming out with a new plane in this size.

Yes - Skywing's design's have always been revolutionary. I am sure that others will follow suit here shortly. Very easy to get spoilt. With the provided stand - the assembly at the field is literally how fast can you get the wings out of the bag and onto the aircraft...within a minute the jet is ready for dropping the gear.

It would be great to see:

Electron option for landing gear
Fuel bag option

With all the innovation they’re doing on this Jet, they have an opportunity to be the first with a fuel bag option on an ARF.

The JP gears have come a long way. All my new 3.5M to 4M jets have JP in them. My old 4M Leo had an electron that died and I replaced it with JP. JP has even come out with a gyro on their latest controller.
Fuel bag is certainly something to consider....

Dumb question, don't hate, but how does this compare to the EA Viper Sport in terms of the kit, quality of components, and flight characteristics?

I have not flown the Ea Viper. I have the big EA Havoc - this has a thinner wing foil and fly's like a standard sports jet. Almost fully symmetrical ....The closest flight envelope comparison is that of the Krill Ares. 3D capabilities incredible - hovers great, Rolling circles are a breeze, etc.

Santiago has a video on FB:
