As for a speed choice.....
my turn-key easy speed setup......
GP Viper
TT 46-pro
Jett Muffler
9x7 or 8.75x8W prop
clip 5" off of each wing panel at the tip to cut the wingspan by 10".
Results: 130+ mph, very good handling plane, reasonable landing speed, no bad habits - not expensive.
That sounds like something I'd want to get in to. I've got a ROSSI .45 that could go in place of the Thunder Tiger...but in any event....does the Great Planes Viper come only in a V-tail format or can it be set up with a traditional horizontal and vertical stab???
Thanks...
