Really like the look of that Viper, the green and yellow scheme suit it really well too.

Yes. I like that color scheme. It showed up very well during the cloudy days at Jet Power. Mike

Hi , its really good looking plane , do you think , what s the weight of the kit or the model (without smoke tanks&pump maybe even no gear doors&cyclinders) , i m just asking this to keep plane lighter and use k140
Thanks

Will get you the weight info shortly. Flying with a 140 size engine with fully installed gear and door is more than adequate. It's designed around 120-180, although two of our test jets are equipped with 190. They are mainly for stress test.

Hi,
Just for your info, I am flying the Tomahawk Viper 2.5 with a Jetcat P140; dry weight 15.8 kg and enough power to fly all figure. No smoke.
The GJC Viper should fly the same with your K140.

thanks for info, great to hear it can fly with 140 , when i saw that you do fly with 190, it makes me worry that i ll not be able to fly well with 140

I'm not aware that Turkey has a California place called Beijing? If you are local, we are putting together a Viper here and should fly soon. You can come over and watch it fly. 140 is more than adequate. Have funn.

That's nice just go fly. Next time I go to Beijing I will contact you first and go check out your fields. I can ship some jets there and send my ground crew there to get my jets ready so we can fly together. When you got chance to come down to Qingdao, come fly with us. We have access to local helicopter field or sometimes we fly off Golden Sand beach. I love flying low over water. I heard that China Sport authoriuty now have a new jet category for competition maybe we should participate. By they way isn't Beijing too smoggy? I was having hardtime seeing small objects in the sky there.

Our Viper should be done this week. I was really impressed with the quality and fit of the entire kit. Thanks Mike. I beleive this is a winner!! 140 would be fine but had a 170KT laying around so it's going in. I can't wait to get it up and flying.
Thanks,

Leaventx, have sent you a mail

leventx

Hi , Replied if u not receive please let me know

leventx

Hi Mike, wish one day i can try qingdao too , Beijing mostly foggy thats why red planes better and 120 size above keep in contact

mikedenilin

My Feedback: (67)

Yes. It's hard to see anything in the air there. They make our jets stealthy. No F22 needed, no smoke needed either. I will let you know when we have a small jet together. We got blue sky. I found this guy in Qingdao. I told him to make his carrier bigger for us and host the first aircraft based jet rally In the world. You would be welcome to be the first guy flying Rc jets off carrier deck, maverick. Mike

Have over a dozen flights on mine now and what a great flyer! I did put the KT170 in it but fly at 1/2 throttle. It does it all. Put lights and smoke on it and it is such a pleasure to fly. Great slow landings and easy flight envelope. Love it!!
Thanks again Mike!
