Viper Hobbies Indoor Event

The August 13, Indoor Fun Fly was a great night. We had another good turn out. The 2 new unique designs that were introduced were the Viper Hobbies Personal Pan Pizza (VHP3) and the Viper Hobbies Nano Combat Fighter. Both were setup using the new Parkzone hardware.

The Nano Combat Fighter didn't get the mixing figured out until late into the night, so most people missed it's maiden flight. But after Aaron got it dialed in, it flew great. The CG needs some adjustment, but not a big deal.

With enough interest, we might make these available as a precut kit. Post comments and suggestions about the design or other suggestions you'd like to see.

For those that missed the test flight of the Nano Combat Fighter...We have a teaser video below. See you in 2 weeks for the next event!

Indoor Fly


The indoor fly was a huge success. It wasn't as hot inside as it was last year. And with the new Parkzone Suquoi's buzzing around, they kept the air moving around the room for added ventilation.



Thanks to the artistic skills of our very own Ethan "Spaz", some very fancy paintjobs were flying around on these new little aircraft as well.







At one point, we had as many as 20 planes in the air.

Indoor Flying this Thursday

Hey everybody,

Nothing fancy today but I needed to drop a line to everyone about a place we are Horne/going to go fly at tomorrow, Thursday July 30th. We got the ok to fly indoors at a very large building at NE corner of Horne and 2nd Ave. in Mesa. It's called Ellsworth Park. We'll be there from 7:30pm to 10pm atleast. The catch is that it's not airconditioned or swamp cooled and it's HOT in there. It's a lot of fun but brind a sweat rag and some water. The ceiling is very high and it's a great place to fly the new Sukhoi's, Vapor's, Ember's and some small 3d stuff. This isn't a big regulated event, it's just some guys/gals getting together to fly some planes. Please don't bring big planes and try to fly them. We don't want anyone hurt. We think that a 75 watt maximum will be best. If you have any questions please respond to the email or come down to the store and ask Nick.

Hope to see you guys there,

They're here!!!!

Guys, you have to change the prop out. GWS 5043 prop is awesome. Break the blades of a stock prop and ream out the GWS prop and press it in there and bam, a MUCH better flying airplane.
