well, i cut the tip off of another servo arm and used it as a spacer.looks like thats how it was done in the manual.. it is still very,very close. Not sure i like it. Will play with it some more tomorrow afternoon when i get to hodges.

Maiden complete. Sorry no video it was a typical non event for maiden. Maybe 2 clicks of trim here and there but no more than that. Man I have so missed my vyper. This one has gobs of power as I went up in kv for this plane. She will haul the mail for sure. I didnt do too much low as Ive not been flying as and was dialing her in. Man having the pack in just about the middle of the tray is just awesome.

yeah i went with the 450kv and its a screamer with a 17x10. cant wait to try the mejzlik 18x8e prop on her. truly is nothing like having a vyper in the stable!

Had mine up today for two flights while hanging with NJSwede up at SSS.. I fly like a granny and in a circle

Gotta get lower, slower and more radical.. Think I'll wait a while, I really like this plane. Time to mess with real flight while I work on the pucker at the field.

Hope you guys all got out for some flights!

2300 watts on this bird is borderline mental issue dept heheheh. I like it.
