P-120 or 160 in the new Super Vipers?
By the way, I forgot to mention in my Tam's getting back tomorrow post just now, would a P-160 be too much power in the new Super Vipers, or should one just stick with the 120? What do you guys think? Gary.

It's the same airframe, aerodynamically...It does not need a P160, my Mark 2 flew vertically with a nearly full bag of fuel and just over 1/2 throttle on an older P120. If you do use a 160, I'd dial the max thrust down to 28 lbs or less, it's a clean plane and you can easily overspeed it.
Just my $.02.

As per the new modifications made to the Viper, its structures is capable to handle the power of a P-160, including the G's w/o any problem.-
Anyway, I flew mine with a P-120, and see no point in going faster, unless your visual range are long enough to increase your flying zone....or use binoculars
At the end is a matter of personal taste....
