Hi all,
I have flown the VIP extensively and as electric pylons go, it is fairly user-friendly... The ailerons are fairly far out for a Pylon racer (it really isn't a competitive ship), so once you get it dialed in and flip on high rates, it willroll faster than a high speed twist drill on the flat out... You can slow the VIP down quite a bitbecause it does have more wing area than a typical SP 400 Ptlon, but I don't recommend flying it in a typical back yard. The CG is very sensitive on these fast models, you'll need to be within mm of recommended positions, and do not start with it back.
My favorite, and highly competetive, SP 400 Pylon is the Sokol... check one out. With a nice, hot brushless (anything w/a KV of 3500 or more, drawing more than 23 amps), they will exceed 100 mph. Make sure your eye glass and/or contact prescription is up to date.
