Horizon Hobby - Viper 90mm - More Road Takeoffs & Landings

[@randall4411]

You are bubbling with enthusiasm ! That says it all . Camera crew is so right on !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

Your videos are so thorough, not leaving critical details out. I love it and I love this model. I’m definitely getting one before the end of the year.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks, and go for it! Excellent plane!

[@rohangupta9358]

Very Educational.. been new to this hobby and have already seen this video 5 times. Grt you were able to show the contrast between 7000mah and 4000 mah flight characteristics

[@lancelink88]

Beautiful toenails camera lady. Brian I like the way you show low speed passes then full throttle pass into a screaming vertical. 🎉

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad you enjoyed the nails ;) and yeah, we want to try to show the whole flight envelope, but when you get a plane like this, it kinda HURTS not to go by at 100+ MPH ;)

[@kmatch1]

Notice the intake ducts favor pulling air more from under the plane. Reverse shoves air more downward as a result. Thrust vectoring! Spoilerons or simple down ele mix oughta do it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We've played with it some, with mixed results.

[@pianoplaying2728]

2:19 - who needs reverse thrust when you have grass? That looked like a much faster method to stop imo lol.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - Nice!

[@paulballard4243]

I’m an ITO (Independent Truck Owner) for a paving company. I also fly off my road out front of my house. There is so little traffic that grass grows in the cracks of the road. I have to weedwack them sometimes LOL But anyway, it’s awesome they paved the gravel road. That plane is wicked cool and you fly it awesome man.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! Glad you have the same setup we do. It's a huge blessing!!! They paved this small strip for when they do funerals. The other week, it was CRAZY...we went out the front door, and about 200-300 tractors were running up and down the road for like 45 minutes. That was COOL! By far the most traffic we've ever had, even compared to funerals ;)

[@paulballard4243]

@@BrianPhillipsRC lol I hear ya, there are six cars a day that go by my house twice a day going to work and coming home lol. I have more farm equipment than cars go by my house lol Have a good one Brian and the lovely Camera Crew. You guys are adorable together

[@EJ-74]

I counted right at 6 seconds from the time it touched down to a full stop That's pretty dang awesome It gets pretty good flight times for that size Jet Some of the smaller ones don't even get that much flight time Awesome vid guy's 🔥👍✌️ Oh yeah forgot to add great idea with the elevator mix with reverse thrust Smart thinking Brian 🔥👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad you enjoyed it. This plane is amazing, and the fact that we can make these sweet, FUN mixes just kicks it up a notch in my book!

[@travelmateprince2693]

Wow nice flying I love how you do the stunts and loops

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! Glad you stopped in again!

[@flyingchickenrc1653]

I love this viper it looks like it flies awesome and the size is perfect great video guys

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! It does fly GREAT!

[@marcoreviews]

Sounds like a real jet! Living vicariously through your videos guys! Thanks for sharing! Amazing 😉 camera work as always!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Our pleasure! Thanks Marco!

[@maxun1]

you need a approx speed of 20 to 30 milles for that front wheel stay on the ground with the ele mix you did. The best way to do it is to mod the flaps to be spoilers when TR is a activated and aileron as flaperons. You will see the struts compress into the road lol. My extra330 120 inch 170cc Extreme flight make a rumble when flaperons go up. Lol

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That would be cool, and would PLOP down like NOW.

[@Reignaboveitall]

15:24 UGH so beautiful 10/10💯

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It was beautiful!!!! I love re-watching these greasy landings....makes me so proud ;) Now I need to get out and do it a few more times before we start losing day light at 4:45 PM - I hate winter for that reason ;( Thanks Keith!

[@duonesmith]

Awesome👏 flight and landings 🛬. Love my 70MM can’t wait to get the 90.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

In stock now ;)

[@patcarletto7310]

Adding any kind of control deflection on landing fatigue mode will not push the nose down because all you have is the rollout speed helping you which is probably only 5 to 10 mile an hour. It’s not like a prop plane blowing air over the surface and if you had reverse thrust on the prop plane the air is going to wrong direction.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

okay

[@tylersrcflightschool9570]

That's awesome I've been flying my 70mm viper

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It is good too ;) Wish they would have thrown in an Avian, so we could do Thrust Reversing on the 70mm

[@tylersrcflightschool9570]

Wouldn't that be a dream. I will say the front landing gear is very weak. Already repaired once.

[@Kbeezzy23]

Man those landings are just butter!!!

[@helipoor]

Hey Brian I Used both your mixes mix 2 does work great with about 20% down Thank for saving me some time! Keep videos coming I for one watch EVERY minute of them!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Great to hear! 20% - I'll look at that next time I'm out flying. Love this plane, and such a fun problem to have to deal with - the reverse thrust woes...what a cool challenge, and keeps you wanting to fiddle with the plane to get it "just so" - I actually love that about this plane! She's a rock solid performer in the air, then landing is a whole other thing! It's funny, I'm beginning to really enjoy the challenge of some of these planes, but at the end of the day, I want them to be "easy" to fly so everyone can do it.

[@philipriding]

Nice Nice. Bit of foam glue to fill the weed holes…Job done ✅

I just got the 70mm yesterday! It looks fun

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

70mm is a different animal, and still very good!!! Enjoy!!!

[@turkeyneckrc8916]

Question... can you throw a spectrum as3x with safe reciever in any model plane? Non e-flite models like hanger 9 for example

[@turkeyneckrc8916]

?????

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, we've done it many times. We did the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick recently and put SAFE and AS3X on that plane.

[@turkeyneckrc8916]

Ty!!

[@RAYROTHSTEIN66]

The viper is like when the 4 star-40 came out in my time, I love nitro and prop jobs, but I like the sport look and flight envelope of the viper line. But.. I'm still buying a su30 first before it's discontinued..

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You may be disappointed...Just saying. The SU30 is a scary experience...and it's HUUUUUUUUGE (Super Long...like more than 6 feet, if my memory serves right) and no flaps, so for our environment, it was just too much. Take it from me, you will not just prefer the Viper, but you will FAR prefer the viper 90 ;)

[@RAYROTHSTEIN66]

@@BrianPhillipsRC noted, but I already got the su30.. I'm ripping out the receiver and putting in a frsky s8r with a satellite receiver. Doing the the flaperons and tailrons as well. Twin 4000 6s packs and if it seems slow, ill look into FMS or JP fan units. I'm use to pattern and pylon planes on tuned pipes. As well as 1/4 & 1/3 scale 25lbs flying pigs in the air. I'll get a viper as well, but I just noticed that horizon stopped making a pnp su30 version, so that means it's coming to an end for it.

[@Jack-gy7cs]

Great video Brian and Megan. You mentioned crop dusting and I was curious so I googled it: Despite technological advances and the aviation industry becoming highly monitored and safety conscious, crop-dusting remains a ‘dangerous line of work’ for its pilots. In 2017, there were 67 incidents involving agricultural airplanes, with 7 of these resulting in a fatality. Some Perspective Planes have been used for agricultural purposes for almost 100 years, so it seems strange that this industry is still so risky. In 2017 0.02% of AG pilots had a fatal accident, compared to a fatal accident rate of 0.003% among GA pilots. The same year, there were over 40,000 people killed in car accidents in the US alone, giving it roughly the same fatality risk as crop dusting. Although, it is worth noting that we hop in our cars every day, whereas this is not likely the case for AG pilots.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes - good stats!

[@PhilBender612]

Hey Bri! Awesome flying with the 90mm Viper. Hey, I heard you mention Pilot Ryan, Why don't you pop in ON the Pilot Ryan Saturday Night pilots lounge. Its a good time, you even get to hear from Jason Merkel@HH from time to time.... would be cool to hear from you. Thanks buddy.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I have before, but I don't get into the live events much since we're super busy making content too, and when we're not making content, we're running like maniacs trying to get ready for the next, or get the last ones ready to publish...it's a thing ;) P.S. I would consider Pilot Ryan a good buddy, and I have mucho respect for him. I was drooling over his footage back in the day, when I was just a total noobe ;)

Thanks! Plane make me look good ;)

[@57heeler]

I have a question about thrust reversal in ANY plane...can it be created on any plane or is it RECEIVER dependent?? Like you must have the Avian ESC and a certain receiver. I'm flying the NX8 and I've seen you use that with a jet and the Evo TT i think. Anyway thx in advance.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It is a function of the Avian ESC, but there's been Reversing ESC's for years....just not popularized as with the Avian ESC.

[@FORDEVR]

3:56 Did you pay extra? I’m sure you did cause there was definitely some extra grease included in that kit.🥰. Awesome landing.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - Thanks - This plane is a JOY to fly. We've been wanting to do a revisit, but since it's been out of stock, we hate to taunt people waiting for the plane to be "order-able".

[@FORDEVR]

@@BrianPhillipsRC I maidened mine and then it sat for a bit. (didn’t want to wreck it) I just took it out for 4 more flights last weekend and I just kept asking myself why haven’t I been flying it.🤦‍♂️ It’s just sooo cool being able to Rip with it or really slow it down. I am jealous of the 7000 pack. 4000 is the biggest smart pack we can get in Canada right now.🤦‍♂️ Hobby stores got one order of the 5000 and 7000 packs in when they first came out and then that was it. None since. Lovin it. I excitedly but patiently await your revisit.

[@jcb6713]

In reverse, wouldn't the tail act more like a canard and down elev. lighten the nose & up elev. tend to lift & add nose weight? just a thought; if I understood what you where saying....

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes ;) Once it starts actually moving back wards...but prior to that, when only thrust reverse is FIGHTING, it'll act normally. There is a transitional state where it goes from "elevator" function to "Kanard" like you said. - Good catch!

[@PVRDesignSolutions]

I think you said you have the Pilot Fatigue set to 150% How did you do that for max thrust?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I did, but later found it was not necessary. Sorry about my mistake ;)

Excellent flying Brian and Excellent video footage camera crew! I have a question about throttle reverse I'm getting ready to fly my turbo timber evolution before the winter sets in and I'm not sure about this does the throttle have to be right off before you engage the reverse switch thank you your friend Marty from Canada 🇨🇦🛩🛩

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You can have throttle at any position and flip it...but there is a bit of lag...so be careful. Also, it's GOTTA be hard on the motor bearings when you go from 100% full throttle / speed to -100% full throttle / speed...so use caution. Even if the bearings last, the motor mount and NOSE of the TT Evo might just rip off after a few amazing maneuvers ;) P.S. I don't want to discourage your using it, BTW, just want you to keep the risks in mind, as you get super crazy ;)
