It's kind of discouraging seeing all the mods needed to make on of these Viper airworthy. I spent some time talking with a recent Viper builder at an event this weekend and was surprised at the amount of work he needed to do to the jet. Along with that, he had problems with a part that just shouldn't have been an issue.
I love this Jet and am on the verge of pushing the buy button but have reservations.

I have on order one Viper jet (which presumably have not yet been produced), but going through this thread i am not feeling confortable with all the issues and the last thing i would like to see happen like most of us is loosing a jet due to structure failure of some sort.
PaulD could you please elaborate on the issue(s) your friend had on the Viper?
Regards,
Sorry, since it's not my airframe I prefer not to post second hand information. The jet is certainly a beautiful kit and still plan to purchase one. Just take heed of what Ali says below and be prepared to fix a bunch of the "small issues".
IMO - Don't bother with the cockpit kit. The one I was looking at he had done himself. (See photo)
