I've got two Vipers (well, sort of) the last one flew good, I just found a weak spot behind the servo tray on a less than perfect landing! I don't want to bother glueing the two halves back together. I will order another fuse to replace it later. Till then, I'm going to buy one or the other. Sounds like a Predator this time. Kind of sucks, I spent too much time on this last one for it to break so soon. I glassed the nose and tail area, found out that mounting the throttle servo upside down in the tray makes for a straight shot to the carb with the pushrod. Found a better solution to the tank, and even re-covered it in yellow. I guess I should not have tried to fly in the high cross wind that day. It didn't seem that bad, it just dropped a wing as it touched down, no cart wheel even. I think it hit on the tail and wing tip at the same time, breaking the back half, don't see any marks on the v-tail where it hit. My red one is 5oz heavier and has been flipped over, cart wheeled, and had some hard landings and is still ok, uh, I probably just jinxed that plane too!

Viper or Predator II? - 
If you climb 100ft on the way to #1, then dive 100ft on the way to #2, you just added that much more distance to your lap.
