Default RE: another GP Viper question..

Now I am getting confused, earlier in this thread I said I was having to give about 1/8th inch of up elevator at full throttle. Flying at full throttle with the up trim to get it to fly straight would mean it to need some down thrust, correct? Then when I am flying at 1/4 stick or less it pulls up because of the up trim correct? So if I nuetralize the elevator and give some up thrust would that work? So I am getting confused now does it need up thrust or down thrust? I would like to get it to fly straight and level hands off at full power with the elevator at nuetral.

Now I am also wondering after the last to posts if, I should just go fly it and trim it for full throttle straight and level how would she handle at dead stick. During the past races I really ran full out at 10 laps until we were done then we cut the engines to fly them in dead and I did not recall having a problem until I tried to fly around 1/3rd or at 1/2 throttle. Is that the design? no 1/3rd or 1/2 throttle flight capability? Just go "Fast and Turn Left" until your done with 10?
