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?
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?
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!
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!
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!
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.

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.
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...
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
Another video on you tube over powered by the backing track music ! .. seems its a common mistake to make on here !!
Compro 40.000.000 unidades para a força aérea brasileira do Rio de Janeiro niteroi

Just buy a folland gnat at least it has ejection seats
What an arrogant guy
It's tough being me. LOL. ;-)

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

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.

Thanks! Appreciated! We are planning another trip out soon! More to come.
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. 😂

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!
It’s small over more.For this jet
Whoa Viper's up here? Great!
Yeah....he's probably saying "oh shit it's maverick and goose".
I look forward to flying with you, Sir.

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.

“Every jet has issues” Damn that not reliable ahah
Whats with the satanic symbols
Nice looking bird.
Beautiful
Is the Viper Jet still in production?
It is not. The ones out there all have their own set of "issues" to be addressed.
are these jets being made again, I need one but ill buy 2 if I needed.
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.
