[@jhuff8596]

Congrats Tim! Glad to see you Flying EDF

[@TimMcKay56]

JH: Thanks, it was a lot of fun!! Tim

[@RSchwara1]

Now your talking! I have one of these and it's extremely LOCKED in and fly's amazing! After the demise of my Habu today I'll be flying the viper for sure!

[@TimMcKay56]

Viper is a neat machine. 😊 Tim

[@Yankee2003]

Oh no, Edfs…..I have been hesitantly thinking about stepping into these waters. Now my KZbin friend has one….looks like I have no choice/excuse anymore 😅. Thank you for the video Tim. I hope my like and comment helps you out.

[@TimMcKay56]

Michael: It does! The Viper is a lot of fun, looking forward to future flights. Flies very well, maybe give it a try! Tim

[@anthonyjayakody3356]

This guy is legendary! Really good informative videos and a lot can be learned from him. Good stuff!

Anthony: Glad you enjoyed it! Tim

It's fun to watch your videos. I'm learning a lot from you. I also do not have an edf yet. Thanks again for your time

Nice video Tim. Two things: the servos get plugged into the “receiver” not the servo, and there was an EC5 battery connector at the beginning, but an XT60 in the middle. Did you change it?

[@TimMcKay56]

Thanks on the servos! Yes, I use XT60 connectors, made the change.

[@robertgribbin6444]

Nice Tim. Thanks

Thanks! Tim

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Interesting choice of model for you Tim, good for you though, I wonder if your cameraman got a little nervous on your landing 🤔👍

[@TimMcKay56]

Cliff: My lovely wife does all the camera work. With the larger and faster models, she has learned to duck. 😁 Tim

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great first EDF flight Tim, I am sure you will master jets now. Great job 🫡

[@TimMcKay56]

Dad: Thanks so much for checking in! Tim

My Viper 70mm 15th anniversary edition is coming, this will be my first edf jet too. Did you put any flight stabilisation on you viper?

[@TimMcKay56]

I did not use stabilization. The Viper flies well, is an “honest” airplane. Use half flaps for takeoff, full flaps for sure on landing. Fly a steady final approach, lower than normal, OK to carry some power on final. With idle power and full flaps, jet will drop in (no real glide or flare). Tim

[@CptAwilliamse]

Thanks for the tips Tim.

[@aragorn318]

That looked like a rough landing. Have you had better landings since?

[@TimMcKay56]

Cut me a little bit of slack. 😁 My first EDF jet landing, one bounce in the infield not too bad!! Tim

[@aragorn318]

@@TimMcKay56 Oh, of course I am. But my question was, how's it going now? I hope you've flown it again, or it's not wrecked by now, lol.

[@TimMcKay56]

@@aragorn318 Viper flies great, could not be any happier. 😊

[@aragorn318]

@@TimMcKay56 Yeah, I've been eyeing this one too. But a guy at my field maidened his viper 90 over the weekend and ended up damaging it due to a bouncy landing on pavement.

[@FINNIUSORION]

I had a jet before. It was a f4 phantom powered by a Saito 40 on the front 😂.

[@TimMcKay56]

Awesome!! Tim

[@fira2001]

Great video. For me, jets are just not relaxing to fly.

[@TimMcKay56]

AA: I certainly get it. But nice to try something completely different. 😁 Tim

[@stanpotter7764]

"This is my first jet flight, I'm a little bit nervous." Well if a man who flew real commercial jets still gets nervous flying RC, I guess I have nothing to feel bad about! I'm still fairly new to RC planes and get a little anxious before flying. I'm sure it will be old hat eventually. Thanks for another great video, Tim! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
