RE: Are there any Vipers Anywhere?
The Hobbico Viper was similar to Scat Cat with different tail configurations. It was designed by Doug Whitaker from the Nashville area, and pretty competive in the late 80's and early 90's. The Hobbico version usually came out heavy, but would probably be close to the 3.75 pound minimum we have now. Most were built as V tails, with a few crucifix tails. I don't remember seeing many conventional tailed versions.
