Thanks for your interest and feedback Ed. I’m building it to be modular so that it can be transported on a trailer. My plan is to take it to events, shows, conventions and charity events – hopefully spread some inspiration to future aerospace engineers 🙂

All the pictures I have seen have just been the port side… IS the Starboard side progressing the same? or will it be done later?, (or not at all?)
LikeLike
G’day mate, yes I’ve only worked on the port side so far. My plan was to fully complete the port side and basically prove to myself I could do it, before commencing on the starboard side. Hopefully the starboard side build will commence in a few months time.

Hi Stephane, I appreciate your interest and feedback. I work in IT and have no aerospace experience to speak of, but I do have a great passion for all things aerospace. I also enjoy the process of creating/building things.
I’m hoping to one day take the Viper on a North American tour, but that’s a little way down the track 🙂
