RE: Viper...
Yeah it would have. I probably would have gone that rout if fixing this one would have been much worse. The covering peeled right off without even using the iron cause it's so loose so that only took about 45 mins. And the wall was already out so I cleaned it up and it's set now...Need to pin and glass.
I don't mind the work it's fun. Needs a little TLC.
It's a great flying plane. Only if the manufacturer would do their job...
