Default 2m Viper Jet with wood wings and tails

Does anyone know who makes a 2m Viper Jet with wood wings and tail surfaces? I don’t think it’s Skymaster or Pilot as those are all composite, right?

good guy guy to deal with directly. Limited stock. I have built a few 50CC budget models from him. Cost effective with minor reinforcements needed. His planes flew just as good. If your experienced and want a low budget plane, there ya go.

Hello Bob,

If its a fly model Viper they fly very good. I have one now that I am flying. I had a skymaster viper that crashed, and they are basically the same model except for the surfaces are cover instead of glassed. The fuselage is the exact same. I think they are coimng out of olf skymaster models. You can tell the quality is not as good. But they fly the same. I used the same set up that was in my sky master and did not have to change a thing. Don't know if you noticed it in my trailer at super jets, this past week.

Josh,

Thanks for the info! I did not see it in your trailer. I picked it up for delivery at SJS for a friend here in Northern Virginia and I was curious. I believe he said he was told that it was a Skymaster, but when I saw the wings were not composite, I figured it must be something else...

Thanks!
Bob
