Default RE: Another Skymaster Viper

Finally I have my own Viper!

This saturday and sunday I have spent a lot of time reading the two main threads (this is the most complete) regarding this spectacular airplane and watching all the sites that are mensioned and I suggest all the new owners to do the same. I have to thanks a lot of you for the informations and pictures.

My airplane arrived perfect except for the canopy that was folded in the middle (arghh [:@]). I have raised it and heating it using an hair dryer. At the end it returned almost perfect.

I have to say this is the most beautiful airplane I ever had but as you all know there are some things to fix.
I just started to fix thread problems (sorry for my terrible english) in the aluminum "L", changing the bolts from 3 to 4 mm and I'm going to buy the reinforcement set horns in carbon fiber.

I'm using seven 8711 (just to be sure ) and I'm thinking about a futaba 3305 for the front gear...

Ciao
