Default RE: Viper vibration problems

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

bl10 - It is fluttering on the ground. The flutter is bad enough I did not want to attempt a flight.

Bax & daven - I check the stiffness of the aileron wood and you were right it is very soft compared to the right aileron. I took off the covering and the aileron so soft that I could deflect the end with very little pressure. I am replacing it now.

DMyer - Thanks for the tape ideas. I would have never considered this. I will keep it in my bag of tricks.

Just starting out in Q-500, after some pratice to get the feel of the planes I will start making the races, hope I get a chance to meet some of you. Also, I realize the Novarossi is not legal, just a fast engine I had laying around.

Thanks and Regards
