High Quality ARF Constructed from laser-cut balsa, plywood, carbon fiber, and other high quality materials, the Black Horse Viper Jet Mk.II arrives with a high level of pre-assembly. Every surface is fully sheeted with balsa to provide maximum strength and a professional finish. |
 |
Turbine-Ready The model aircraft’s fuselage and internal compartments were carefully designed to accommodate your provided turbine, fuel tank, ECU, and other electronics. A steel exhaust pipe is also provided, along with mounting points for modern turbines. |
 |
Included Suspension Struts CNC machined aluminum and steel suspension struts feature a robust 5mm diameter axle, 65mm nose wheel, and 75mm main wheels for operating on both paved and grass RC runways. This axle size is readily compatible with modern electric-based and air-based braking systems. |
 |
High Visibility Livery Fly a real showstopper with the Viper Jet’s striking Carbon/Green livery. Neon green offsets the sleek carbon and black aircraft, enhancing the aircraft’s visibility in the sky. LED lighting, clear light bezels, silver accents at the intakes and exhaust nozzle, and muted “Viper Jet” badging elevate this model’s livery to something truly unique. |
 |
Molded Canopy and Cockpit Peer into the detailed plastic cockpit bay through the molded clear plastic canopy. The plastic parts resist both heat and UV damage, retaining their color and sharpness through many flying seasons. |
 |
High Performance Acrobatic Trainer The Viper Jet Mk.II is well regarded for both its nimble and stable flight characteristics. Carefully selected airfoils and construction methods provide a wing that does not stall easily and can sustain high speed flight loads while remaining lightweight. Fly this aircraft as a docile large turbine trainer, or move directly into flying an excitingly wide spectrum of aerobatic maneuvers! |
 |
High Quality Hardware Reinforced nylon, steel, and brass hardware provide the best material performance for different jobs. Trusted construction methods and control hardware geometries ensure each servo drives its control surface precisely with minimal efficiency loss. |
