Your going all in on jets:)
You are also a much better pilot then me, i'm sure.
I started in april 2019. and have
since been flying my Turbo timber, most with safe on.
Do you think i can handle the Viper with safe? It’s a lot
faster then my Timber. I’m planning these lipos:
Buy RC battery packs online at HobbyKingAC for the lowest prices. Zippy Compact batteries are great for drones, planes and RC hobbies. A great range of Lipos.
will they fit in the Viper?
And finnaly, i have two 2800mAh 3S lipos i wanna use in series as 6S. Are
the lipos to big in mAh?

The downside is you're going to have to invest in 6 cell batteries. Forget about combining two 3 cells. I haven't measured it but I don't think two would fit or balance. Another option though is the Arrows RC Marlin. It's a good looking plane, reminds me of the Avanti. It's priced very well and flies on 4 cell batteries. It's a lot less to get into than the Viper. While I like the plane and have one, to me it's too light. I don't feel comfortable in anything more than a light wind where I am in the Viper. If you think you'll eventually want bigger and faster, you're going to have to get 6 cell batteries so it might be good to start now, a little at a time. I've flown the Viper with 3300, 4500 and 5000 Admiral batteries without any problem. All fit and balance well. However the Admiral 4000 Pro is too big, I can't close the canopy. For me, the batteries weren't that big a step since I had already started down that road with the bigger warbirds (Corsair and Spitfire) so the jets give me another option for the batteries. But it is an investment.
I've really enjoyed my Viper and fly it every time I go to the field. It was a good first jet and prepared me to fly other jets. Since then I've gotten the Horizon F-16 (not as fast as the Viper), the Motion Hawk and most recently the Motion L-39. I don't think you'll go wrong with it when you're ready to move up,

Thank's for your input on the Viper. I decided to wait a little with the Viper jet but did purchase two 6S lipos along with some 3 and 4 cells lipos from Hobbyking. I now have two 6S for my next christmas Viper jet and got me the Hobbyzone Aeroscout for this chrismas.
I really wan't to learn to fly without safe on so this should be the perfect trainer for the summer of 2020:) Happy new year over there in the "heat" from a cold moisty Denmark.
