Viper 90 is by the best Foam EDF on the market right now!

[@autogyro333]

OMG, just bought a 70mm FMS Viper!!!!

[@Fran11784]

Lots of reviews out there but indeed I wait for Rich. Always a great review I can trust! Cheers

[@georgemanuel4506]

Awesome flying!! And Gav is so cool! Nice young man !

[@DannyPellini]

Hi Rich ,Great Jet can you explain what the yellow wire from the throttle line does and how to use it please. The manual says nothing about it.

[@RCINFORMER]

It's reverse thrust. It needs an extra channel. Not needed for grass ops but usefull on pavement

[@leejones8804]

Hey Rich l am getting the Viper 90mm just wanted to know from your point of view l seen your videos on it is this Jet pretty good flyer just wanted to know before I get one

[@jessharris2708]

Pricey yes. But I think that the looks of this plane and the way it flies looks like its worth the price if you can afford it. Nice job guys 👍

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

Horizon and Motion had to raise their prices due to the major inflation on the US market. There’s no telling when it will happen or whether it’l happen at all. But if it slows or even stops maybe they’ll lower their prices back to where they were a month ago. Motion explicitly stated they were reluctant to raising their prices.

[@AutoInnovations1]

The fin blew off at the 1:28:36 mark just passed the runway!

[@toddflyer]

Excellent videos. I have question. How well did your BNF viper range test? I noticed with many of the safe enabled receivers that they show many frame losses and sometimes 1 hold at ground level. Have you notice this also? Was there any signal issues?

[@RCINFORMER]

I have had no signal loss issues or holds. I did have the motor quit in flight due to the motor magnets coming apart. I would guess that this occured due to using the reverse festure on the ground causing the magnets to loosen. I ve stoppped using the reverse feature as I think its bad for the motor. otherwise its a great jet!

[@paulsmart2078]

Wow thank you this was an awesome video. I appreciate it. Might have to buy one

It will talk to you:)

[@Truthstillmatters2]

I’m having problems setting up my Viper 90 BNF… the right aileron is working with my left flap with my right stick and my left aileron is working with right flap like ailerons…

[@RCINFORMER]

I sounds like your left aileron connector & left flap connector are in the wrong wing slots?

[@Truthstillmatters2]

@@RCINFORMER Do I need to rewire the wing?

[@RCINFORMER]

@@Truthstillmatters2 Possibly.... however I think it's the left wing only that needs to have the aileron & flap connector swapped. It should be simple. Remove the wing retainer that holds the 3 connectors & swap the aileron and flap connectors. I think it's only 4 screws. 2 for the retainer & 2 for connectors(1 each)

[@Truthstillmatters2]

@@RCINFORMER That was it… I wish I read your response before I switched the aileron and flap inside the connector in the fuselage… a lot harder that way… next time I will just swap in the wing… I’ve never experienced anything like that…it would have been a lot easier doing it as you suggested the first time… you live and learn I guess.

[@vietdragon5610]

not selling on amazon hmmm

[@jimreynolds8284]

the comments can be little cleaner right kids watch these videos

[@belowme70-1]

For these prices HH can get bent! Oh people are going through a plandemic (they must be loaded rn), even though gas prices are stupid, markets dwindling, etc, etc. way off the mark. I'll go balsa for these prices. Nothing against RCINFORMER at all.

[@RCINFORMER]

Balsa is way more expensive... you can't match the value you get with this model, especially since it is build & ready to bind with receiver.

[@inthegameroompodcast]

@@RCINFORMER Exactly. These planes are a bargain. If the complainers would take the time to add up the cost of the Rx, ESC, servos, retracts, motor, fan unit, etc, they would find out that they are getting the airplane for free. Also, at nearly $20,000 per container from China, I have no idea how they can do it so cheaply.

[@RCINFORMER]

@@inthegameroompodcast Well said! Decades ago I would buy a Cermark propjet fiberglass model for $399, then a Jett 90 motor for $450, $200-300 in servos, $100 on a receiver, $40 on a ni-cad pack, then $100 on miscellaneous hardware to replace the crap they included... Then there is the TIME you save NOT building it! Wait,.... there's more: Then there's is fuel, glow plugs, fuel tubing, etc... the asking price for this model is a deal:)

[@nonyabusinessatall3274]

@@RCINFORMER To bad you guys are deleting things, it looked like ASSHOLEBYNATURE posted links to a balsa for same price. Seems like you guys gang up on people because you don't "think" they are in the game. Where did their links go?

[@belowme70-1]

@@nonyabusinessatall3274 it's all good but for the record yes i did post links that would have come together to complete a balsa 90mm edf 8s jet for under $800, obviously a build would be in order, not too bad for a "complainer" lmao sad when ignorance leads to insults😂.

[@williewonka1970]

Your camera guy gave me a headache

[@c208driver6]

“It’s hard to slow down”. No it’s not. Try not pitching the nose down to make the runway bc you have no clue how to do a standard, stabilized approach.

[@RCINFORMER]

I'm definitely better at doing it, my Boeing Jet:) I tend to "wing it" a bit more with models because it's more fun!

[@insurancemann1]

Now this is the video I’ve been waiting on. Well done as always, thank you!

[@DannyPellini]

Thanks Rich, for the info i have a problem with the KN After burner not letting the Avian esc. To work with the AR631 RECEIVER all the channels are used up i have an NX8 it works but won't let the reverse work i need to upgrade the receiver to a 8 channel for both to work at the same time or if you know any programming to fix this ?

[@frank-vq4mx]

What did you say ? "That's what see said" !!

[@LoveRC]

When you do throttle management, what threashold do you set the timer activation/deactivation too?

[@RCINFORMER]

That's personal preference I think it defaults to something like 25% throttle. So as you advance the throttle the time are starts and if you bring it back below that the timer will stop... This is for spectrum so I think it depends on the radio you are using

[@LoveRC]

@@RCINFORMER Thanks! I use Spektrum NX 10.

[@DannyPellini]

Hi Rich , this jet is fantastic great features and flys great. I saw something come off the plane maybe the ventral fin inline with the runway near the water hopefully you can find it. Love the Viper 90mm and the orange Viper 70mm i have the 70 want the 90 .Happy flying

[@RCINFORMER]

It was a ventral fin that came off it:)

[@williampayne8129]

Nice thorough build, preflight and wring-it-out flights! I’d like to see whether having SAFE ON prevents the wing break issue with THIS Viper in slow flight.

[@duncanscubie]

I love everything RC but I only buy RTF . I have no patience for all the set up nonsense. I just want to unbox it and fly and if it crashes well then I just buy another one . I just want to have fun . But I respect your video. If they sold this RTF I would definitely buy one .

[@RCINFORMER]

There's not really much that's RTF thats really a sizeable model. This is a BNF that's super simple to set up. Thanks for watching!

[@antcap66]

Something definitely comes unstuck at 1.48.....decal maybe 🤫

[@RCINFORMER]

Lost a ventral fin:(

@mike Bird i wouldnt call rich an “influencer” because unlike somebody else he is not constantly cramming his links down peoples throat, or telling them to “ support the underdog” or sharing his PayPal so people can give him money…. He actually makes videos with USEFUL content instead of certain people who focus on entertainment value only. I think it’s sickening what has happened to the promotion of the hobby with certain people acting like glorified car salesmen all they care about is taking your money one way or another-meanwhile over on this channel I think rich must’ve been the last person to even think about affiliate stuff and unlike somebody else I won’t mention he’s not talking about everybody using his links constantly-Instead he focuses on giving people useful information Right down to the small stuff like putting foam tac on E rings, and tightening connections”instead of telling them “how he’s got something first”. Totally agree with your comment regarding “ influencers actually giving people concrete advice on what not to do” Instead of worrying about money. Happy flying👍

Hi Guys, I have some e-flight Jets with Spectrum ESC and Spektrum iX20 radio. Trust reverse works great at all.

Always like the Viper. The million-dollar question. We know the mighty E-flight Viper 90mm never ceases to please, but how does it stack up to the FMS Futura Tomahawk V2 80mm? UPDATE: My new EF Viper 90mm has joined my little hanger! Thanks so much for the high quality, and very concise videos. You need to know how much help you have given me and many other folks.

[@RCINFORMER]

Very similar! Futura is a slightly smaller class at 80mm.

[@jamesrhodes6517]

Got my Viper 90mm together. For some reason my flap servos are running "HOT"! All the others are fine. It would be odd that that both flap servos are bad. You have any suggestions? I'm running a Frsky system.

[@RCINFORMER]

Yes-Make sure you are not overdriving the Servos as some brands of radio can overdrive the HH Servos and I have heard of FRSky and even Futaba systems doing it to HH Servos.

I have the viper 70mm, can I setup a reverse thrust on it? Or this is only available on the viper 90mm? Thanks 🙏🏾

No reason why you cant but you will need to change the ESC for one with the reverse feature.

[@Truthstillmatters2]

I'm going back and forth between this one and the FMS TigerCat? Any suggestions?

[@RCINFORMER]

That's going to be a personal preference call! Both are outstanding models. The BNF VIPER will be faster to get flying from the box & It is a Jet that flys beautifully. The FMS F7F is the finest EPO warbird available & assembles easily with 16 screws & has the best landing gear around.... it does need a receiver to be installed however. Either way you go both models fly great. Thanks for using my links to purchase! Rich

[@davidgerlach1132]

48:00 - With the Spectrum NX series, on the flap system setup. A negative value will yield "up elevator" and a positive value will yield "down elevator." Just a suggestion to maximize the rudder authority. Physically move the control horn position of the ball link to the inner-most position. You'll gain physically ~20% more throw without logically adjusting the servo.

Using the video counter, It look like right at 7mins on the 5000's total time from reversing to the strip to Rich hitting the throttle kill on Gav's flight but he only had 9% battery left. On the 7000's it was almost 7min throttle time with 22% battery left. I think the sweet spot is between 5 -6 min with time left for go arounds.
