Hangar 9® Viper 100N Turbine Jet ARF – Premium Giant-Scale Performance at Aerobertics
Designed with the unmistakable look and feel of a modern fighter jet, the Hangar 9® Viper 100N Turbine Jet ARF combines aggressive scale aesthetics with the stable, forgiving handling of a low-wing sport aircraft. The result is a high-performance turbine platform that allows more pilots than ever to confidently step into the world of jet flying.
At Aerobertics, we especially appreciate how this model bridges the gap between accessibility and advanced turbine performance—making it a standout choice whether you are progressing into your first large-scale jet or adding a versatile, smooth-handling aircraft to your existing turbine fleet.
Exceptional Design & Construction
The Viper 100N airframe is expertly engineered using lightweight balsa and plywood construction, reinforced with strategically placed carbon fiber components for maximum strength without unnecessary weight. The result is a rigid yet responsive structure capable of handling high-speed passes and precision aerobatics with confidence.
The model arrives as an Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) airframe, allowing you to install your preferred 100N-class turbine engine (sold separately). A comprehensive hardware package is included, significantly reducing setup time and ensuring you spend more time at the field and less time sourcing components.
A dual-wall stainless steel tailpipe and pre-installed fuel tank are also included, providing a complete and well-thought-out turbine installation foundation.
Scale Realism & Pilot Experience
Finished in a striking, modern printed trim scheme with panel-line detailing, the Viper 100N looks as impressive on the ground as it does in the air. The scale experience is further enhanced with:
- Detailed cockpit with painted pilot figure
- 3D instrument panel detailing
- Functional LED navigation and landing lights
These elements combine to deliver a truly immersive jet flying experience.
Smart Engineering for Ease of Use
The Viper 100N is designed with practicality in mind. Large top-access hatches provide tool-free access to critical systems including the turbine, fuel system, and electronics, making pre-flight checks and maintenance quick and efficient.
The aircraft features a two-piece wing system, removable stabilizers, vertical fin, and ventral fins, allowing for easy transport and storage—especially when paired with optional padded transport bags.
The fuselage is a robust two-piece bolt-together design with removable nose section, ensuring both structural integrity and service convenience.
Retracts & Ground Handling
The optional electric retract system elevates the realism and ground performance of the model. It includes:
- Durable aluminum trailing-link struts
- Integrated electric brakes
- Advanced retract controller with adjustable brake strength and test function (transmitter-free operation)
A complete gear door set with linkages and mounting hardware is also included for full-scale appearance and aerodynamic cleanliness.
Flight Performance
The Hangar 9 Viper 100N is engineered for a wide flight envelope, delivering:
- Smooth and predictable handling
- Excellent high-speed stability
- Strong aerobatic capability
- Confidence-inspiring approach and landing behavior
Whether performing fast passes, large loops, or precise scale-style flying, the Viper remains composed and responsive throughout.
