Stripped all the covering and finishing with fiberglass cloth and paint. Total covering removed was 14 ounces less than a pound.

I ordered this jet over 2 years ago, only to find out there are issues with retracts. After calling, sorry, it's out of warranty. I'm sorry, but this has been on my self for 2 years. It was a gift for a friend, and I'm sorry it's out of warranty, sir.This was a known issue with the product. Very disappointed, Mortion RC.Definitely will not be doing business anymore with this company.

Many flights I knew I was pushing the motor ESC combination with intention of increasing speed. Which worked well until it didn't!Blown motor crashed jet breaking my right wing. Unable to purchase one because of being out of stock. It had been out of stock for a while and I decided to just get a new one. So,I did and loving it and learned a lesson, your motor and ESC have to get along.2 weeks after purchasing the new VIPER MKII the right wing became available. You kidding me! Well, I now have 2 and don't regret it. Maybe put a turbine in one!Great flying jet, seriously.

Not finished with the build yet still acquiring the many things needed to complete the plane almost finished. and cant wait to fly it .Researched the internet for tips and pitfalls to avoid.The plane has the best glue joints that I have ever seen on an arf.

The airframe itself is pretty good but the retracts failed after just a few cycles. The linkages are also worthless so expect to pay an additional $200-300 to replace faulty parts.

Covering is not as high a quality as presented. More of a contact paper than typical r/c aircraft covering.

Delivered double boxed well packaged, zero damage to Jet.This is probably 95% pre built but the 5% left is very tedious but very doable.I can't wait til spring time. Absolutely the nicest aircraft I've ever owned.

I purchased this jet and it sat for 6 months. One day I decided to look into the box and it was love at first sight, so I put her together with a 12s edf jetfan 120mm and about $3100 into it— it was done with no regrets. I maiden the jet with no problems whatsoever, there was no trim needed, I mean none! I did but the esc for the 14s set up but I don’t think I will use it because she flies flawlessly.
