Thanks Trevor.

Having flown a Viperjet before, I was not surprised at how it flew. It's always a little nerve-racking on the first few flights, and that's what makes it exciting!

This is the first jet I have built with a redundancy bus and a gyro. I still like to fly without a gyro, but it is a nice option if the wind gets a little gusty. The Viperjet is a relatively stable airframe and they do like to fly smooth without any radical inputs. It can fly nicely with a 100N turbine as well, so it is a good frame for 100-120N power. I would not go less than 100N off a grass field though. A friend has one with a JC Rabbit (older 21 lb version I believe), and it does quite well. The newer JC Rabbit and JetsMunt 100XBL are also great choices for lighter setups.

The Jet Legend Viperjet is a nice small size and no gear doors to make things complicated. The C of G did not change much in flight with the smoke tanks used for fuel and only one forward tank. Much better than what I have seen with the stock 2 fuel tanks up front. The only down side is the extensive plumbing and having to fuel quite slowly because of the back-pressure trying to force fuel through so many connections and tubing. Still worth it though!!

Another reason why I bought this particular jet was the Canadian scheme. It really looks sharp, and a great time to do this with the 150th Canadian anniversary!!
