......................Red Arrows going to need some new planes pretty soon ......................................................can you imagine nine of them !! lovely bird .
Hey great video. I've followed the ups and downs of this aircraft being developed and as a low time C172 guy, fascinated by it's performance (and looks!) I've subscribed to learn more!
I began to think this bird was back in production until I read the comments. It would be nice to see a revamped version of this make a comeback. Have the original designers thought about improving upon its platform and bringing it back to market again?
Dan and Scott are no longer doing anything with aviation or experimental aircraft. Scott passed away a couple of years ago and last time I met with them they were making tactical equipment for guns.
Good morning sir... Thanks so much for working on this project... Will you offer training and type rating on the viperjet to the clients? and what are the requirements to have the type rating for it and fly solo? Does it need ppl +1000 hours like L-39 to fly solo?
Hello John, thanks for asking. Short answer? I don't know. I only work with owners of these Viper Jets, so that limits the scope. Even then, not all owners of Viper Jets will qualify to fly them. Stay tuned. Cool stuff coming on this little jet!
That’s not John Goodman talking? 😂 Just kidding. Love the ViperJet, too bad I’m only a Cessna 150 owner for 15 years ha! Who’s the background music from on your video?
No. Too many explosives and solid-fuel rocket motors involved. Plus you have to wear a helmet w/ visor, flame-retardant flight suit, and jump-rated boots, while everyone wants to fly in a T-shirt and sneakers. Ejecting is almost as dangerous as crashing, and it's not a panacea.
@@MajorCaliber I know a lot of the L-39 guys deactivate their seats for this reason. I know more modern seats are a bit safer but probably not a lot of demand in the civilian market compared to BRS systems
You can get those seats but not via commercial sales...but then a lot of added weight in a 2-seater...a redesign in the cockpit room and wing and stabilizer...
Wonder how much they cost it would be a handy trainer/light jet fighter plane for world wide export. Canada could consider the plane for trainer jet plane if I had a pilot license and the money I'd buy one.
@@stevenkinne9651 All the more reason cost effect jet trainer add some hard points and new Canadiar CL 41 tutor trainer. New aerial display aircraft for the snowbirds team.
Dan and Scott are not working on anything new. Scott passed away a couple years ago and he and Dan stopped designing the Viperjet several years ago and went into building assisted program called Zero Gravity. That company only lasted a few years and they are both completely out of the experimental business.
LOL. Nope, not being made. There were some real design flaws in my opinion. Great idea. The people who designed it had the right idea. The reality is that the former military jets that we fly as experimental exhibitions are just better and safer.
@@RenegadeAV8R I think this jet to be the best eye catcher of all kit jets, hopefully one day someone will fix the design flaws and put them into production. Thanks for the response

I compare it for a Ferrari. Incredible performance, but a very temperamental machine. It's a diva, and you have to treat it like a diva.
I absolutely agree. Once up and flying I seem to be annoyed by it less, but the whole jet has design issues. Stay tuned, I will get more into these. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks a lot for posting. Thanks for working on this project. I love this jet!
See my comment to your post. I fat fingered it. 😂
Happy to do it! These little jets get a lot of attention wherever they go! I will try to give a ton of insight into the Viper Jet.

He loves to use his favourite word "UNIQUE".
It’s small over more.For this jet
RAW-SOME !!! and then some.
Not a fighter but a sports car with wings.
Nice looking bird.
I look forward to flying with you, Sir.

Thanks! Appreciated! We are planning another trip out soon! More to come.
Whoa Viper's up here? Great!
Yeah....he's probably saying "oh shit it's maverick and goose".

Not that I know of. I would start the the landing gear, tires and brakes!

Aren't these similar to what the blue angels fly?
Do they make ejection seat systems for civilian aircraft at all?
No. Too many explosives and solid-fuel rocket motors involved. Plus you have to wear a helmet w/ visor, flame-retardant flight suit, and jump-rated boots, while everyone wants to fly in a T-shirt and sneakers. Ejecting is almost as dangerous as crashing, and it's not a panacea.

Great question. Sort of. There was a Russian company that made some great extraction systems. We really can’t import them now, for obvious reasons.

The viperjet was starting at a cost of $1.2mil and averaged total cost of $2million after all avionics and upgrades.

I have heard that they are still in the Tri-Cities working on a new version including a fan jet.
Do you know if that is true?

Just buy a folland gnat at least it has ejection seats
are these jets being made again, I need one but ill buy 2 if I needed.

Another video on you tube over powered by the backing track music ! .. seems its a common mistake to make on here !!
Is the Viper Jet still in production?
It is not. The ones out there all have their own set of "issues" to be addressed.

3:27 "The owner & his pilot." I'm not a pilot just a fan, but why would anyone buy this jet if they can't fly it themselves?
That forward canopy arch is at eye line for most. Poor design imo.
I absolutely agree. Once up and flying I seem to be annoyed by it less, but the whole jet has design issues. Stay tuned, I will get more into these. Thanks for your reply!
