Viper Jet 140 - Blink, And It's Gone.

Posted by Dean Nguyen on

Bat outta hell speed requires a very specialized design, and for those in search of the true quest of mach level thrills, the boys & girls at Harlock RC bring forth the Viper Jet 140 in all its stunning glory. Speed demons rejoice - your chariot has arrived.

Designed as an advanced pilots dream, the Viper Jet 140 is stunning in form, with its swept wing design, dual air inlets and a purpose built layout that is ready to scream with an EDF howl or a pure turbine roar. Pair this with a fully functioning retract system, and it's easy to see that every aspect of this machine was purpose built with full on scale functionality that is designed to thrill both on the ground, and in the skies above.

 

With a 55" wing span featuring a fully functional flap system, the Viper Jet 140 has a wide and forgiving flight envelope, allowing high speed passes to blend with lower speed flight regimes. Functional flaps allow takeoffs & landings without drama, offering the option for some low speed fly by's in high alpha trim without the worry of stall as the airspeed decays.

 

In EDF trim, the Viper Jet 140 provides stunning bang for your buck, with some killer thrust to boot. Constructed of a fiberglass / composite sandwich layout, the Viper Jet is ready for the 90mm EDF of your choice, with quality and performance that far exceeds EPO foam kits that may share the same "look," yet lack everywhere else. And considering this beast can be powered via a 12S EDF setup that offers turbine thrust rivalry, the Viper Jet 140 can be built up at a lower cost than 600 & 700 class helis of the day, making this machine much easier to explain away when your other half sees the bill.

 

Offered in multiple high visibility liveries that are stunning from every angle, the Viper Jet 140 looks wickedly fast while standing completely still. This jet was designed to draw a crowd, and even before you power it up, the sleek lines of the Viper scream performance and all out speed, making this jet a show stopper the moment it rolls onto the tarmac.

 

From the winglets to the aft vertical strakes, the Viper Jet 140 teases its true design, mirroring full scale form that has been aptly applied to capitalize upon incredible levels of aerobatic prowess. Screaming speed, the twin air inlets are a thing of beauty, ready to feed the insatiable EDF turbine that lurks just behind. Gorgeous from every angle, this machine was designed to scorch the skies above, with an aesthetic layout that draws envied gazes and longing stares up and down the flight line.

 

Have a need for ultimate speed? The Harlock RC Viper Jet 140 is the salve for those suffering with the desperate need of pure go fast bliss. And for the ultimately troubled amongst us, Harlock RC offers a turbine conversion kit, allowing the ability to strap in a 5Kg turbine for Jet A thrills like no other today. Simply add a dose of Jet A to the mix, and your turbine dreams await with the whine of a true turbine power plant for the ultimate full scale thrill.
