Features

The specially designed aluminum engine mount accepts virtually any engine in the Viper 500's recommended range. A fuel tank and generous package of Great Planes' quality hardware are also provided.

The Viper 500 comes mostly prebuilt — and fully prepared for high-G action! The foam-core wing features carbon fiber reinforcement and balsa sheeting that's applied with epoxy for security and stiffness. The center section is wrapped in a double layer of fiberglass cloth.

Strike at the competition!

"Our Viper 500 ARF's easy assembly makes it a perfect choice for any sport flier who's up for some fast fun. And with advantages like a race-designed Selig airfoil and self-aligning V-tail, it's also a great way to make the Quickie 500 competition eat smoke!"

Don Anderson
President and Founder
Great Planes Model Manufacturing

With a 2-stroke .25 and separated elevator/rudder control, the Viper 500 is a fun, everyday sport model. Use V-tail mixing and a larger engine, and it becomes a fiery, ultra-competitive "club racer"...and it's AMA-legal for Quickie 500 in 424 and 428 classes!

World-famous airfoil designer Dr. Michael Selig created the airfoil specifically for Quickie 500 racing. Great Planes adds such performance-boosting "extras" as a perfectly formed engine mounting plate and “ to minimize drag ” specially engineered wheels and mounting hardware and recessed wing holddown bolts.

Assembles in as little as 6-8 hours!

Carbon fiber reinforced, wood/foam wing arrives covered in Top Flite™ MonoKote™ film.

Bolt-on tail provides accurate alignment for fast assembly, and can also be removed for easy transportation.

Includes "multi-fit," backplate-type, metal engine mount and low-drag nylon wheels.

Available pre-covered in red or white MonoKote.
