3D Viper-ST 100-120cc scratch build......it continues!

Looks really good! You should stop building cabinets and start full time plane building! If you can pin point that market, I will apply and move to your hood!

Nice thing is....I don't build cabinets Thank Goodness!

Couple pics with weight. So far exactly in line with the Yellow one. The Yellow one is basically just a hair under 25lb. dry, RTF.

I just realized that I never posted a video here of the maiden flight on the yellow Viper-ST. This was first flight on a fresh plane with a fresh DLE120 up front so I was a little easy on it. Just in case any new followers have not seen it:

We will have it listed on the website or in the manual but you will need a 1.5" x 48" wing tube with sleeve and a 5/8" wing tube and sleeve. These are available at TNT landing gear under Composite tubes: http://www.tntlandinggear.com/composite_tubes.htm



Thank you Terry.. Now I can see if anything I have left over fom my misshap this summer will work.

Hi guys can't wait to order one of these. I was just wondering if any wing tub size will work, or will there be a certan size?

Wing tube is 1-1/2 x 48" and Stab is 5/8" CF cut for TNT

Balsa, I doubt it. You are best to just buy new tubes and sleeves. The planes you have were through a lot (before and after the trailer wreck) and I would not trust them just to save a few bucks on a new bird. Also the tubes and sleeves need to fit properly so your chances of getting sleeves that fit your existing ARF tubes are highly unlikely as well. The holes in the fuse are laser cut to size and the sleeves slip in (or require about two seconds of sanding with sandpaper around the tube itself. I slid mine in just for a test fit this AM and the tubes are perfectly parallel with the fuse top and are square to each other. If you mess with the holes you will create a bunch of work for yourself.

I thought I should make a stupid post to show I am back. Everything is looking great Terry and Rick, I can't wait for these to hit the market.
