Default Xtreme A.R.F 2.5m Viper Build By UsaRcJets "Billy D"

HI All, I'm starting this thread now that the jet is just getting started. I will post pics from the factory as they build the jet so we can ALL see the construction of this bad ***** Viper jet! I will be putting a K-170 into her for a power plant. I will be using HV Hitec servos all the way around it. The only problem I have is picking out a paint scheme?? I have 2 viper jets now and there both Blue. I want something different this time and not like all the normal Viper schemes?? I'm going to have only 2 weeks or so to make up my mind! I will also be making build videos and post TONS of pics of everything I'm doing to it. We will also be making a full building manual for this jet too.
We also have the F-100 getting built at the same time for our second demo jet! I will start a separate thread for that one.
Stay tuned Billy D

After our survey results we decided to produce another Jet that we will reveal soon, but the T45 continue on our projects, also we would like to inform that usarcjets will represent us as an exclusive dealer to USA and Canada.

I got a chance to see this new offering at a flying event this past weekend and it sure looked good. Looking forward to seeing BillyD and Jim getting it done and flying.
