Default RE: another GP Viper question..

Hi Dan,

I may actually come down there. I am not sure there is also a race that I may go to in Salem CT. on Oct 5th. I may get daring and try to do both but I don't know about that. The sad part of this all is that I am not a total beginner. I have been having some strange things happening with this plane.

FYI - This by the way is the same plane that I raced up in CT. a few weeks ago and I took 1st place in the standard class.

Again I took off, flew the course, did 10 laps and killed the engine and landed. I did not have any trouble then. However there was a heat in where I had to stay up a while while a pilot had some trouble and was trying to land that I did see some quirkyness with the plane at 1/3rd throttle. I re-trimed it a bit only to have some strange issues in the next heat. I had to trim while in a race. So thats when it all began. Then while back on our field I wanted to try letting my son fly, so I went to the 1/2 throttle and then I experienced it again. thats where I am today trying to figure out why this is and all the posts here from me.
