Unassembled ARF Skymaster 2.6 meter Viper Mark II with latest Airex, + Lots of Extras
Complete airframe with latest Airex lightweight construction and custom paint. You can add sponsor markings of your choice (Canon, Mobil 1, etc.).
Upgraded gear door hinges to BVM metal hinges, installed.
3 CM Jets Kevlar tanks (2 fuel and 1 smoke) with Intairco large hardware. Increased fuel capacity to 4.4 liters.
Complete factory airframe hardware set.
Skymaster 2.6m Viper II cockpit without pilots.
Factory touch-up paint set (3 colors - yellow, blue and white).
J.E.T. (Joe Tamez in Texas) Stainless tailpipe with spun aluminum bellmouth.
Details 4 Scale complete lighting system for SM 2.6m Viper. Position lights, anti-collision lights, and landing lights.
Smoke system. Powerbox dual line jet pump, hoses and 2 stainless feed lines.
No landing gear (retracts, struts or wheels). Factory struts and Electron retracts available separately (below).
Work completed:
Turbine mount alignment corrected and turbine mounts installed (for Jetcat P160-180) but easy to adapt others.
Internal turbine area coated with BVM heat shield paint.
Tailpipe mounts plus custom ceramic cloth lined mid-support installed for perfect turbine centerline alignment.
Bottom hatch and hatch mounting areas reinforced to eliminate stress when jet is sitting on a stand.
$2800. Buyer pays shipping, or pickup in San Diego (if shipping, I highly recommend Greyhound bus for lowest shipping cost to 48 states).
I should have kept the original box so if shipping then I'll cover the cost to have one made. The Skymaster box was so-so, therefore I'll have a good double wall box made. Also, Greyhound is friendlier with big boxes than other carriers.

Here are the 2 issues with this plane:
One the cockpit instrument shroud has a piece broken from one corner. See photo of shroud.
The other is the ends of the horizontal stabs need attention on the bottom and sides of elevator balance tabs. Small pieces of wood can be added to improve.
See photo of bottom of horizontal stabs at elevator balance tabs.
