Lesson Learned Flying/Landing RC EDF Jet Eflite Viper 90mm - | 8HrToGo

2 Thumbs up for landing at all in that wind.

[@8HrToGo]

At our field, the morning is very calm wind, while in afternoon the wind pickup about 15+mph. My only free time off work is to fly in afternoon, so for me.. either don't fly at all or fly in the wind.. and I love the hobby so much that I have to take that chance :( Thanks for watching and happy flying!

Great flying jet I love mine. 100 flights so far never a bad landing.

[@8HrToGo]

Nice! Congrat on your century mark! I had a couple of bounce so far, and hoping the Viper can make the century mark like yours.

This will definitely be my first 90mm EDF. I’m getting the 70 for Christmas. That won’t be my first 70mm EDF, but I’m thinking I’ll need an 80 as a “middle step” so I’m thinking of getting the Blue Angel first, and possibly the F-16 80 as well before I get this. Great Video!

[@8HrToGo]

Great! If you are stepping up from 70mm to 90mm, the 90mm Viper is quite big and might look intimidating at first, but once you fly her up in the air, she can handle all the flight envelopes. You will love the 90mm Viper.

Good video. Landing a jet is not easy when learning to fly jets. Thanks for sharing.

[@8HrToGo]

Zek1701, thanks for the encouragement. Totally agree with you flying EDF jet is quite challenging.. and FUN!

[@pingpongtu1]

Thanks for sharing. This really motivates me to work on my plane now.

[@8HrToGo]

Thank You! Flying RC Jet is very exhilarating.

Good video. Love the Viper and nice landing recoveries. My old 70mm Viper is all beat up.. might consider upgrade to this 90mm depending on how good it flies compare to the 70mm.

[@speedteamhpi]

It just as good as the 70 mm only better . More power and handles better due to size . The lights are a plus and landing gear is superb .

[@tedh173]

@@speedteamhpi You may be right!.. and bigger is better to see in the sky. I need to save up and grab this as an early Xmas gift..

Great video! Especially for anyone new to EDF jets.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Pretty nice flying 👍 and the add on 4 landing clips are very helpful. Thanks!

[@8HrToGo]

Thanks for the thumb up and I am glad u enjoyed it! It took me several flights to make this video.

[@KalibasauRC_64]

Nice lesson for landing

[@8HrToGo]

Thank you for watching. It took me several flights to make this video happen😅!

WOWWWWW !!!!!!!!

[@HenryL161947]

Suggestion cameraman needs a zoom lens can’t see the aircraft during much of the video

[@enzok6414]

Nice video, new sub. The Viper flies more or less like a traditional airplane. Unlike delta-wing jets, it only takes a little elevator to take the Viper into an "over flare". Btw, at minimum controllable airspeed. Any correction made with the aileron could have worsen the situation. Could either correct with rudder movement or just come in with higher speed.

[@8HrToGo]

Thank you for your valuable comments!

[@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib]

Thanks for sharing,, what is your flaps settings when you were landing?, thanks

[@8HrToGo]

Hi, my landing flap was 40mm down. My takeoff flap was 25mm down. Thanks for watching and happy flying!
