Had 8 flights today with the Viper….what a fun and easy plane to fly. Jumped right into the Viper 90 club with a hot 10s set up and the Jet showed me a really good time! All 8 fights were on 10s. 4400 packs give around 3 minutes of high speed flight, 3600 packs allowed for around 2 and a half minutes of high speed flight.

Definitely a great plane to have in your lineup 👌🏽
