Learn to Fly Collaboratively

This plane does not come with instructions, so you'll learn to fly from trial and error. Our testers found that although they were capable of flying the Viper alone, they had more fun and more success when flying with others. Have a friend throw the plane in the air as you manage the controls and get a sense of how the airplane is maneuvered.
