L 29 VIPER

One of the highest performance subsonic jet warbirds available, the Viper is easily the world’s fastest L-29. In 2008 Curt Brown and Mike Mangold racing Aero Enterprises vipers finished 1st and 2nd at the 2008 Reno National Air Races, clocking 507 and 499 mph, respectfully. Curt qualified at 525 mph on the 8.4 mile closed course. Click here for more about Vipers and the Reno Air Races.

The Bottom Line

If you have ever engaged in ACM with an L-39 vs your stock L-29 you know you can out turn it, but the L-39 will out climb and out run you. An experienced L-29 pilot won’t lose to an L-39, but he/she won’t win either.

In contrast, your Viper will out turn, out climb and out run an L-39. The only corner of the envelope left for the L-39 to hide is in a terminal dive.

Be the first to have the edge...

Aero Enterprises has acquired a limited supply of Viper engines to make this superb aircraft available to you.
