Hi Weiliang,

Nice flight and landing so close to light poles. Did that a few times while I was flying in China? They are like magnets and naturally attracted to your plane!

What's your control settings? Flaps, Ailerons, Elevators and CG?

Hi Weiliang,

I have some of these on order already and most of the owners will use the T12 for power...including me! We have ran the T12 here in the UK and it has excellent performance and it is obviously well suited to the Viper.

Thanks for posting the pictures...

Hi Weiliang,

I will pick mine up at the factory sometime next week. Hope to see you there. I have the Alpha Jet, now I can't wait to get this Viper going. Mine is the same paint scheme but Yellow/Green/Silver color match.

How long is your flight time? Smoke tank size? I plan to install an external center tank for smoke tank.


Bob: Yes, landing lights are better descriptions of these poles. You only land once if you run over them.

Hi Mike,
If i'm free next weekend,maybe i will go to zhongshan city fly with Mr. Yang. Looking forward to meeting you in there.
Flight time is about 7-8mintues.Smoke tank size is about 2L,smoke by diesel.For me, it is enough for funny flight.

Jeff, I think I am going to get mine sooner than you can.

The one on the website is a picture of full size. I am going to be at the shop to inspect all the paint schemes and hopefully collect enough photos of the "real" model paint schemes here next week.

Hi Mike,

Yeah, probably...[]

This type of jet has been a long time coming from Jetlegend - I've asked them to do a 'sport' jet for years!

Bit of a turning point for them too...

Jeff

Any sign of my cockpits yet?

Hi Gary,

Yes it is.... they seem happy enough about emulating it though!

Looks like a nice sports Jet but a blue cockpit tub? Surely grey/black would look better. There is also an option for a tinted brown canopy,a smoked grey canopy option would be nicer.I`m going to take a closer look at this model at JET POWER this year.

Hi Steve,

It's actually more gray than blue. The brown canopy is technically a smoke canopy. In Chinese language, smoke is more of white color. I am sure you will get to see them in at our Jetpower booth.

Mike,
Do you think the Jet Munts VT80 would be ok for this Airframe?26lb dry weight seems heavy for a 72" span Viper or is this using a larger engine/smoke system etc?

That 26lb dry is with a larger engine, and smoke system.
VT80 will make this plane weigh no more than 22lbs. It will push it fine. Actually I prefer this arrangement. Light n fast.
