82mph!! DID the Viper 5 XC JUST DO THAT?

[@BlackGryph0n]

Thanks for the preview! Stoked to get mine! (now if only I could decide on my custom colors...) P.S. The "mom liked your text" moment at 8:38 was super wholesome and made me smile!

[@tango_sierra8608]

Loved how in depth and how much data this had. Super cool video and review

[@PeterCiesla]

Loving the data overlays! Exactly the information I want to see.

[@calvins4084]

absolutely love the new colors, their way better. also appreciate the honesty

[@btchhopperou812]

@ about 24:30... I was thinking for a second that you were gonna land on that Port-O-Let LOL

[@aviator]

Oh, it has happened ;)

[@TomMinnick]

6MPH shy of being sent back to 1985

[@robertcameron6500]

Very nice wing and a good review lads, I think I need one of these...!

[@ph8768]

great video folks thank you!

[@jamest4363]

I would love to see a spydr 3 xc with the winglets. my spydr oscillates full trimmed out on long flights. I would love to know how you guys got the display layout in the videos

[@bethanywalker3145]

Super cool review!

[@WolfyGamerPro]

As you mention how stable the wing is, are the flight characteristics more into EN-B? I know that on paper it's DGAC rated. But you could get more into it to compare the characteristics.

[@anthonyferraro]

Sooo sick Jake!!!

[@heartsky]

Loving the drone shots.

[@verticallines212]

I'll become a snow bird & Head South, nyc / Lake Wales, Ready for a new wing myself, Hope to see my Family soon enough, Happy, Healthy, Safe 2023 ahead to all Involved, Peace on Earth!!!

[@dejavukrewe]

Come say hello!!

[@wompstopm123]

where do you get all those avionics stats while flying? is that a phone app?

[@50xChallenge]

Which overlays package are you using? Better than the older GoPro one.

[@dejavukrewe]

It’s a paid app, and a bit more time consuming; kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6bbZIKmZ8p_hrM

[@joseferrer8738]

How did you add the gauges to the video? I'm looking for a video editor that will add at least altitude and speed in a single edit pass like the old GoPro software that's been discontinued. Everything I find says export and do it in two phases.

[@SMarti018]

You made a comment that with the Sirocco you can use brakes through entire trim range. That is incorrect as it has a red trim line where brakes cannot be used. As someone who primarily flies a Speedster 3, I definitely have this wing in my radar!

[@Khunlaan]

This is true for most Sirocco/Speedster sizes. The Sirocco 18 is the exception. It has its own riser/trim combination where there is no red line on the trims.

[@SMarti018]

@@Khunlaan interesting! I did not know that!

[@TrevorSteele1]

You can use brakes trimmed out it’s just not recommended.

[@ryandinan]

@@TrevorSteele1 I have the Sirocco 3 20m. If you use the brakes past the red line, she doesn't really like it. I've gently used the brakes past the red line, and the tips tend to go flappy flap. So I stopped that. lol

[@TrevorSteele1]

@@ryandinan Interesting. I've hammered brakes all the way out on the 18m Viper 5 and 18m Sirocco 3 without any issues or weird behavior. Probably best not to lol!

[@scottypres1]

Great vid. What app for the onscreen stats?

[@michroz]

They should have made the winglets on the _lower_ wing surface. First - you could see them, second - it wouldn't be so straightforward taken from Advance, and third - thay could use them as some lines hangpoints to lighten the structure :)

[@flierbill]

Good stuff !

[@turkeyphant]

How many hours do you need for a Viper XC? I have 60 hours PPG, 130 hours PG and have been on a Sirocco for 40 hours so far.

[@frbb20]

Jake, I own a Sirocco 2 19 and I’m in the market for an upgrade. I love the easy launches of the Sirocco. What is your final impressions of Sirocco 3 18 vs Viper XC 18?

[@aviator]

Viper XC launches as easily as the Sirocco for sure. Probably even easier.

[@frbb20]

@@aviator thank you. And do you think it’s faster at the trim red line, since I don’t plan on using it fully trimmed out due to not being able to use the breaks). Btw, happy new years to you guys!

[@aviator]

@@frbb20 Definitely is faster, Happy New Year!!

[@gregoryrussell2959]

Where you buy that heads up display ?

[@aviator]

It’s from the GoPro!

[@ryanwerts4002]

What app do you use for the flight stats?

[@aviator]

Gaggle! It's awesome.

[@ryandinan]

@@aviator but how do you get the overlays in the video from Gaggle?? :)

[@aviator]

@@ryandinan Those are from GoPro

[@GabrielManzanero]

What AR tech is this you’re using is this part of your helmet or all done in post?

[@aviator]

It's all in post but the data is from the GoPro

[@falconron4217]

how would you compare it to the Speedster 3?

[@aviator]

It's a bit sportier of a glider. Much more efficient, better roll rate, etc. Designed to be the next step after mastering the Speedster.

[@SMarti018]

Close to upgrading from a Speedster 3 24m to the Viper XC. I am 130kg all up and enjoy the 100% weight loading on the speedster 24m. I am not sure if ill go 20 or 22m for this wing. Any thoughts on launch speeds at the top of the weight range for this wing compared to the Speedster 3?

[@aviator]

It launches a bit slower actually. All I know is you’re bound to love it!

[@matthewholmes8638]

Go for a 20m. It's not a crazy upgrade from a sirrocco. Id say it's like a sirrocco on steroids. I went from a 22m spyder to a 18m viper xc.

[@lobbyrobby]

Question for you. I have 8 skydives in the books and I have an altimeter. I realize you don't need one for ppg but does anyone ever wear one just to see what altitude they're at?

[@christianp5486]

How do I look at the horizon without looking at the ground?

[@michroz]

Some pilots use them, some don't. Whenever you really need it, you take one. As much as I know about the skydivers' altimeter-watch with red and green sectors - not very useful. A simple smartphone works better.

[@garywheeler2055]

Jake looks like “Damone” from FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH

[@mikestein1024]

The ultimate speed limit is from Doc brown “ 88 MILES PER HOUR!!!!!!

[@SkidzFPV]

Wow. But I’ve hit over 1,100 feet per minute without a motor lol. Pretty cool wing for the motor guys/gals though.

[@jamesturncliff5960]

Is the mustache flare faster?? Question for Tucker Gott😊

[@jonathancallender8185]

Cmon don’t just tease us😅

[@michroz]

Looks like the 17 official years of Advance winglets patent is finally over and now every manufacturer will add them...

[@BryanEThomas]

I feel like I’ve seen this before

[@dejavukrewe]

Seen what? This edit?

[@BryanEThomas]

@@dejavukrewe its not an "EDIT"

[@dejavukrewe]

If I edited the video is it not an “edit?”

[@dejavukrewe]

But that what is it that you had seen before?

[@alex-ground]

Super

[@NathanMellor]

Isn't it illegal to have a top speed over 55 knots for ultralight?

[@aviator]

This was ground speed only. True airspeed is not that high

[@NathanMellor]

@@aviator Fair enough. I was wondering if wings are pushing that envelope now.

[@Diesel4242]

Would ya just look at it!

[@WolfyGamerPro]

I'm just curious. Is this a paid advertisement? In the entire video, no cons were mentioned.

[@aviator]

@@WolfyGamerPro not a paid ad, no. But we do sell these gliders so I’m certain there is some bias. We appreciate the question!

[@TONYPARAMOTOR]

82 mph? but no speed range in the manual ?. a manual is there to help. not hinder. The more info the better. then demo the wing.. are aviator sponsored by ozone? let's count on the comments on who is a paramotor pilot. and who isn't?

[@aviator]

82mph ground speed as reported by the GPS but he was flying downwind. Aviator is in no way sponsored by Ozone but we ARE dealers for their gliders.

[@matiasguerraph]

hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 135km/h woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@NoahPattersonRobert]

Dell will not be happy

[@peterstone833]

Dell's unhappy about everything.

[@620ironwolf]

I love how you fly under part 103 rules, but you are going over 60mph... If I post a video of me flying my 14oz rc airplane in the backyard the FAA would have a fit. But it's fine withthe FAA for you guys flying over 60mph.

[@aviator]

That was ground speed. Max airspeed does not exceed 63mph or 55kts.

[@yangliu6905]

I'll take it China's first
