Ali. No conspiracy at all. When a new model comes out, it is often hyped up to get sales. Little or nothing is mentioned about vices or bad points. All I am saying is I lost mine in similar circumstances. Others have contacted me to say they have lost theirs & don't want to publish the fact on RCU. There are currently no Vipers left flying in Cyprus. They have all crashed.
They may have all crashed in Cyprus but not necessarily (nor likely) for the same pilot induced reason. If you read the build threads, the "vices" have been widely discussed on the Viper and, as is usually the case, 'work arounds' have been made by the owners. If your comment was based on the tail/rudder and wing connection issues which have caused MANY crashes, you have justification and if SM hasn't corrected them, shame on SM. I have NEVER heard anyone fault the Viper's flight characteristics.
