As someone with older and heavily used shoulders I appreciate the ability to fly a responsive wing while also allowing me to stow the toggles and relax a bit.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Just opened mine!

[@NavaDownSouth]

cant wait for the brake video!

[@BoredFlyer]

Viper XC goes HARD 🧡🤝🫡

[@ChrisJewell7333]

thanks Trevor 👌

[@landonwhitt7948]

a video flying in wind would be great! I have yet to figure out how to enjoy mine in the wind.

Hi I am a new paramotor pilot and I’m looking to get a viper xc I weigh 50kg and the paramotor I will get weighs 20kg and I was looking to get the 22m one can I get your thoughts on is it to overkill for my weight

What are the pros/cons vs Dudek Hadron 3?

[@CRAZYAUSTRALIABLOG]

HI, im 300h PPG pilot I have just switched from 20m Hadron 3 to 18 m Viper 5XC . Viper is very good fast stable EASY to lunch easier than my 2 previous Dudek wings( Nucleon3,Hadron3) big + for that but , Hadron is more Agile turns easier because it have longer lines . Hadron 3 is better in turbulent air takes bumps like nothing compare Viper i feel EVERYTHING don't like that . A lines are blue and D's are red on Viper 5 xc - it was other way around on all my previous wings . Roller trimers on Viper are dangerous in my opinion they realise too easy too fast its too easy accidentally drop 1 side and go sharp turn . Generally I like Viper 5 for the speed and easy lunch in nil wind but i Love Hadron 3 for agility and feel of safety in turbulent air it gives me . 2 good wings but Viper 5 have to be compared to WARP 2 to be fair

[@cloudpandarism2627]

so hold on... you launch to have fun testing a new wing and instead of driving to work like a normal person you just fly in and start the training with students? living the life eh trev? please never forget that this is something 99% of all people can only dream about. really cool to try out new toys and then land straight at the work place

[@turkeyphant]

I've been flying the Viper XC since 60 hours, why do you say pilots should wait until 150 hours?

[@TrevorSteele1]

It’s a blanket statement because all pilots are different. Some 50 hour pilots should fly it and some 150 hour pilots shouldn’t fly it.

[@Ethriean]

Nice Video Do you have wny informations about fuel consumption ir rpm needed in level flight with your set up? I am searching for my next xc wing and i am not able to test every wing with out driving hundreds off Kilometers.

[@TrevorSteele1]

I do not off the top of my head, but I will say I’ve owned a bunch of xc wings and the viper xc is hard to beat. I’ve liked it so much I’ve had two of them!

[@Ethriean]

Thank you for your advise. I think i will try to geta Viperxc 18m³ and a Hadron 3 18m³ to Test. I Upgrade from a Dudek Universal 1.1 25.5m³ with 100+ hours before this season. The Universal ist very inefficent!

[@TrevorSteele1]

@@Ethriean both great options!

[@Kent-pb2jl]

Would you recommend this to a 100+ hour pilot that wants decent speed but more so efficient flying in typical conditions?

[@TrevorSteele1]

Yes I would

[@Kent-pb2jl]

$4600? Jesus have wing prices increased over the years. Doubled in 10 years.

[@TrevorSteele1]

Yep

[@577buttfan]

Thank Uncle Joe.

[@krzysztofbartnik]

But why ozone makes such ugly riseres + the tooggles . I flew this wing yesterday. If someone likes to fly long flights, this wing is for him. It is not as agile as hadron 3 and is quite hard on the brakes. But it has plenty of speed.

[@MahaBali7975]

Is it safer for beginners, any collapses?

[@krzysztofbartnik]

@@MahaBali7975 It all depends on what you can do as a beginner, but I think this is a great wing, maybe not the first one, but definitely the next one.

[@adibabi]

So, size for size how does it compare to the sirroco 3?

[@TrevorSteele1]

Faster, more efficient, more energy, and more maneuverable.

[@frenchfry4792]

Has anyone tried the Everest thunderbolt!

[@michroz]

Great pilot skills, but - to my unliking - this flirting with the powerlines at around 4:20 looked not good. I mean _ordinary pilots_ which is a majority of, and the beginners could get a wrong message. They say: "150 hours - is not much, I probably fly more a year", when, in fact, most of us hardly fly above 60 hours a year.

[@mendi1122]

Did you fly on Piper?

[@TrevorSteele1]

Yes I’ve flown and owned a Piper

[@philipdiggs8465]

Why is your recommendation set at 150 hours or more of flying?

[@TrevorSteele1]

It’s a pretty demanding wing and the pilot needs to be experienced with advanced wings

[@philipdiggs8465]

@TrevorSteele1 if it is so stable, like being on auto pilot. Then, it should be for beginners

[@577buttfan]

@@philipdiggs8465 Not when it only takes 2"of brake pull to yank it over compared to 10-12" on a B wing.

[@tonnexplorer]

How about awak 3 its not good ?????

[@TrevorSteele1]

Awak 3 is good at only one thing - playing. It’s not a great wing besides that.

[@mendi1122]

forgiving? you describe it like its EN-A glider.

[@SMarti018]

How so? A wing can be forgiving in certain situations and not be a EN-A glider.

[@577buttfan]

@@SMarti018 Exactly, this wing doesnt want to kill you like the freeride 2 and viper lol.

[@claytong7]

My question is this vs the free ride. Either one of the other is a choice for my next wing 🪽

[@SMarti018]

Two different wings designed for two different things. What type of flying do you favor? Acro or CX
