Thanks! That is useful info. I am getting close to doing the maiden, just need props. I got a handful from Phil's Hobbies on the way.
What else can I expect from the Viper? Does it like to land hot, needing lots of runway, or can I float it in with a nice flair?
Once it touches down, what can I expect for rudder response?
Any other tips come to mind? I am a bit antsy for the upcoming first flight!
