<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>One thing to keep in mind is that the Viper is normally built for the YS engine using a Vibra-Damp mount. Talk with Dennis Hunt at Zimpro if you decide to go with the Viper using a 1.40 2-cycle. He does make a wider version for the Hyde mount. That version's nose may be wide enough for a 2-cycle. I bought a standard Viper. My Webra 1.40 engine is just too wide for the plane. I would either had to modified the engine or the plane. On the other hand, a YS 1.40 fits perfectly into the nose.

<BR>I second Bob's praise for the construction. Also the shipping carton is well designed to handle the rigors of mishandling.
