RE: New Racer/New Pilot
It is a real advantage for a teen to be surrounded by experienced racers and to start with a plane that is setup right and capable of winning day one. I added a little extra expo for him than I would normally use.
One thing about the Viper... they fly pretty darn good for the price once they are modified a bit and setup right, but they have to do something about that stab saddle. I have not had one that was even close to where it needs to be... I spent over an hour sanding/shimming on this one until I was satisfied with the alignment and incidence. GP really needs to tell people it needs about 1 degree of positive incidence in order to fly right with that wing(carry no up trim).
