Any original SM Viper Jets still flying?
Hi guys
Thinking about aquiring an original SM Viper Jet which has had a few flights, without any damage. I am aware of some issues with this type of jet, but I am also sure my fellow jetjocks have already resolved most of them. Can anybody give me a short summary of what to look out for and what to do in terms of correcting the 'fatal' problems.
This is one of the original ones without the gap seals, but have had some installed before it was flown. I have a choice of engines to install, ranging from 7 or 9 or 13 or 16 kgs trust - not sure of ithe jet's current weight, but would say it's around 11 to 13 kgs dry. Any suggestions power wise?
Thanks for the help.
