style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>One thing to keep in mind is that
the Viper is normally built for the YS engine using a Vibra-Damp mount.
Talk with Dennis Hunt at Zimpro if you decide to go with the Viper using
a 1.40 2-cycle. He does make a wider version for the Hyde mount.
That version's nose may be wide enough for a 2-cycle. I bought a
standard Viper. My Webra 1.40 engine is just too wide for the plane.
I would either had to modified the engine or the plane. On the
other hand, a YS 1.40 fits perfectly into the nose. <br>
<br>
I second Bob's praise for the construction. Also the shipping carton is
well designed to handle the rigors of mishandling. <br>

have no question that both planes will out-fly me! I am leaning <br>
