My new X-Treme Jets 2m Viper
My new X-Treme Jets 2m Viper.
Guys!
I know there are many threads on the 2m Viper but my solution might help some others X-treme jets 2m Viper builders.
Of course!
I used all the info/tip I get from Ali/Alex when I built my Viper.
I must just to say that the quality is great for the money I have pay for the model.
But!
One thing I not can understand!?
Why use X-treme jets not a bypass duct systems for the 2m Viper ?
The are" only" benefits with duct systems ...(in all models)
Guys ,the Bvm by pass duct is perfect for the P-80 SE
The equipment list of what I have used in the Viper.
Jet Cat P-80 SE
Futaba 6014 FS Receiver
Servon (Futaba) BLS 252 x 6 S9551 x 2
Jet Tronics M-Valve and JD-Valve.
Bvm UAT tank.
The pilot Is a mix of 1:6 scale pilots
Pro-mark rivets/panel lines
Bvm Bypass/Duct
Bvm Turbine Mounts & Straps
Bvm EZ Air Quick Disconnect
Bvm Air Micro Switch
Bvm Air Fill Valve x 2
Bvm Mini Air Gauges (par)
Bvm Kevlar Tank Hardware x 2
Bvm Fuel Owerflow Fittings
Bvm Button Head Screw
Bvm 3/8"long Button Head
Bvm Poly Tubing
Heat Sheild
Servo lead ID sheet (Promark)
Aero Poxy x 2
My goal is the maiden will be at Domain the Planet (France) in january 2011, because we probably have one meter snow in(Stockholm)
Sweden in january.

I buy them direct from SM, I am a dealer for SM/X-Treme jets in Sweden.

Hi Lasse,
Did you put your own fat carbon pegs on the fins ?
I just have M3 metal studs.

As a recommended by (Ali)
It got to be with a carbon fiber tubes.
I also reinforced the frame with carbon fiber (rowing).

RE: My new X-Treme Jets 2m Viper
The mains landing gear has a habit of staying locked up when you try to lower them. I lost my Viper when one gear locked up & I tried a couple of tight loops to free it. The jet snapped & went into a terminal flat spin.
The solution to the gear staying locked, is to file the top of the retract sideplate up locking ridge, so that the gear comes down more easily.
Having said all that, the Viper is fast to build & great to fly.

It's time to fit the Bvm Bypass Duct in the model, and I used the orginal tailpipe.
Hmm, I use the belmounth ring to the plug for the inlets duct, and it worked.
