New Viper 500 RTC
I was searching on Tower today and found out they have a new version of the Viper 500. It is a Ready-To-Cover that is $10 cheaper than the ARF.
This should make it easier to beef up the weak areas and cover as you want without having to strip. Plus you could glass and paint if you want.
