GP VIPER WITH 16.84 OZ and Tail Wheel
Just finished my viper. Thanks to all who gave me good input. I added a 10.82 OZ fuel tank in series with the 6 OZ giving me a total of 16.84. A club near by has a 100 lap race and I need to make 50 before refuel. Flew it this week end and the mixture did not change. I also added a tail wheel. I did not want another servo so I linked it to the elevator. I glued a carbon rod in the fuselage to slip the tail wheel wire in. My viper is requiring almost 1/8 inch left aileron to fly level. I shim the tail and plan to test fly it this week. Thanks Dan Avilla

You can twist the wing and shrink the MonoKote and there is a good chance that the aileron trim can be removed.
What length course are you flying? We can get around 18 short course laps on a 4 ounce bladder tank.
The 16 ounces of fuel is plenty for 50 laps.
Good luck!
