Viper Pilot

First of all, I want to thank Dave West for the free plans. What a great plane.
Finished the entire plane in just over 8 hours of build time.
These are the easiest planes to build that I've ever seen.
My plane is powered with an OS 0.20 FS, so isn't at the peak power recommended. It came out AUW of 42 oz.
First flights this morning. Not blazing speed, but very aerobatic. Flies great at low speeds and still controls well.
I think this is going to be a great combat flyer. Too bad I didn't have an 0.15 engine so it can be used for the new SSC class combat.
I used white Coroplast, and trimmed it with silver holograhic vinyl in the "traditional" winter MiG scheme - not red trimmed!!! (holo stars on tails, holo upper wing-tips, and holo arrows on sides of fuse).
That glittery trim really shows up great. In the sunlight I can see it a mile away, and orientation is obvious.
Can't wait to try a Zero, or 'Stang, or Spit next.
I'm sold on this plastic stuff!!!!!!

P.S. Sorry there's no photo's. I spend all my cash on flying, and can't afford a digital camera :D :D.
