I've owned an HSD SuperViper with a K60 G2 for several years now and it flys very nicely. I used the stock servos and I haven't had any issue with them. I routinely fly it off of a far from perfectly smooth grass field and it it's held up to this fairly rough service for many flights without any issues. I've heard some claim it's fragile and the gear tears out but I've caught divots in the runway(I did say less than perfect right ?) that practically stopped the SuperViper dead in it's tracks and it didn't tear out the gear or damage it in anyway.. If someone is tearing the gear out of one of these I'd hate to see what type of landing would do that, or maybe I'm just lucky (Im not, not even a little)...

It's foam, and lets face it, it's not very classy but it was inexpensive (as turbines go) it's flies great and it's held up well. I've got other nicer jets but if I just feel like flying something small that's easy to transports and fun to fly it's my first choice..
