*Maiden Flight* - E-Flite Viper 70mm EDF Jet - The Ultimate Trainer Jet?

[@coolbreazmike]

I like this video....thanks for your efforts!

[@davidsnyder238]

The Viper is one of tge best all around sport frames there is. Great high and low speed characteristics, capable of plenty of aerobatics, slows down well, and has great gear for grass. Congrats shes a great one.

[@Kbeezzy23]

That's a win brother!!!

[@ljhobbylife]

Looked good, fun little plane to throw in the trunk and get to the field! 🙌🏼

[@rayskocaj8499]

[@sherwinsalvatori6997]

Keep it coming , keep it coming , dam you good

[@snipedogr.c.9672]

Hell ya Hamilton and Ashley!!! I'm so excited to see y'all homie!!

[@redwineisfine]

Fun bird, just watch out for the low speed snap wing stall..

[@hamiltonshangar]

Definitely! We will try her with no flaps next time!

[@redwineisfine]

@hamiltonshangar the 90mm is a much better experience than the 70mm Not sure why that is... but the 90mm is a keeper. Have you tried the 70mm Yak-130 from FMS?

[@DadsRCHangar]

Was a great flight Che, at least it was hi just a little tail bend 👍🏻

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Very nice. Love mine too

[@ficosk8]

Keep having fun and take care of stalls on this small one. I have ordered the big and the small Vipers from FMS xD

[@DeucesWildRC]

Score!! Great flyer, my buddy Joe has this jet and he rips up the sky with it, good job guys 👍

[@Justineworden]

Looking good Che!

[@hamiltonshangar]

Thanks man!!

[@ojeezrc]

Wow I literally flew my 90 today I guess it’s viper season , great maiden my guy 🔥💪🏽💪🏽

[@TheRCAviator]

The 70mm E-flite Viper will tip stall in a heartbeat. I think the gyro makes it even worse because it doesn't know to keep the ailerons centered when the plane is about to stall. It's not a good first EDF for a low-time pilot. The 70mm E-flite F-16 is much more forgiving in the air, but will tip over easily on the ground with its narrow landing gear. The 80mm Freewing Avanti S is a good first EDF as is the 80mm FMS BAE Hawk. The 80mm Freewing L-39 is another good one.

[@lamaranderson3048]

I’ll take it! No damage is always a win on a maiden.

[@ltfadl1]

Awesome, man, I had 2, and I miss it, lol. I might get one of the newer ones, but I'm trying to stick to my guns because I want the 90mm, but it's nice to be able to toss in the car and roll out.

[@hamiltonshangar]

Definitely she fits right in the the car perfect! Thank you for watching !

[@ThatAintWrong]

That was sick man hell yeah! 💪

[@hamiltonshangar]

Thanks man!

[@lseguy]

LITERALLY my favorite overall jet. Best bang for buck in jets. Achilles heel is nose gear. Bends to left super easily. Easy fix via upgrading your stringer nose gear. But I have over 100 flights on mine

[@snoriverrc3842]

All the Vipers are amazing. I wouldnt say best first EDF but definitely a good trainer once youve advanced past the Marlin or some other 64mm.

[@helibladerunner74]

Nice maiden well done Been looking at that one myself Been flying my 64. MM Futura and looking at getting my first 6S Jet

[@tonyyimbo]

My viper lives on in my yak 130. And that motor made the yak so much faster .

[@double_0_6ix26]

If you liked the 70, you'll love the 90 and prob won't fly the 70 again. It's easier to fly, flies faster, flies slower, and less tendency to snap roll but you still have to watch your bank angle at slower speeds. Can't wait to see you have the 90 up in the air bro

[@mikessi]

Way to go Team Hamilton! It has that hoppy tendency on touchdown, but you'll have that figured out in no time. 👍💥

[@hamiltonshangar]

Definitely man thanks for watching!

[@jetartessales]

Classic PIO from my observation

[@GAPreviewsAtoZ]

Nice bruh keep doing yo Thang

[@PhilipAlonzo]

Where ya flying out of bay area?

[@braddarnell2498]

I say don’t land with flaps, It was to floaty. Good flying though, yall keep it up.

[@nemonespider]

nice flight, i believe your approach was to high and you flared to early... but over all great flying

[@snipedogr.c.9672]

Got my vans on but they look like sneakaz!!!

[@jcb6713]

😎👍👍...

[@hamiltonshangar]

Thanks for watching man!

[@BDTennessee]

Good maiden yawl! Dont use the down elevator mix stated in the book. Make the nose push down hard and start "bucking" on touch down...

[@hamiltonshangar]

Thanks man we didn’t use any mix for this she was coming in real nice!

[@frank-vq4mx]

Maiden flight ? No range check ? I've never seen you do a range and gyro check on any of your maiden flights. No preflight or post flight checks either. I should have watched your video to the end.

[@hamiltonshangar]

Those happen off camera sir. Thank you for watching!

[@hamiltonshangar]

And I always do the preflight checks on camera, you can see the surfaces moving before we take Off and as soon as she’s powered

[@JohnVHRC]

Vipers are great planes, and, landings are like farts, if you have to force them, they are probably shit.

[@hamiltonshangar]

lol!! Thanks for watching man!
