Awesome flying like always. Thanks Jon

About the 5:35 mark looks like something comes off the plane?

Hi Jon! I recently subscribed to your channel and I really enjoy your content! I think it is great that you rotate through the aircraft in your hanger so you aren’t flying the same thing. You really make it look easy, you are a great pilot! Also wanted to say thanks to your camera guy, great job!

[rlbutterfield]

GREAT show, bro! Master at the controls! Loved the “pop top”.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[msj]

Hello Jon, Thank you so much for making a very informative flying video's. 👍👍

[lancelink]

Great video work, such a beautiful flight!

[cmayrc]

Had to come back for the 👍 Great show man!

[old-rcplane-phart]

I recieved my original, (3rd bought plane since getting back flying just b4 covid hit), ultimate 3d back a week ago. Maiden'd it Friday. Wrung it out 3rd pack. I missed THAT plane! It was what i re-learned to 3d on. Buddy (brother from another mother) that gave it back said, i make it do what its supposed to do! 😜😁

Id forgotten how much fun IT was to fly! 👍

I’m searching for best Spektrum smart batteries for Viper 90mm please. Want longer flights. Recommendations? I’m flying again thanks to this channel. B1B, C130 on floats, and a big cub coming up next. My boys want to fly now! Cheers!

[garypowell]

Hi Jon, your videos are so informative and helpful so please do keep making them. Your piloting skills are exemplary, you are handling very tough conditions and still making things look quite smooth, well done.

[shiftsgiggles]

appreciate your feedback. These vioer 90’s getting back into RC. Is you Spektrum 20 the one to get? Needing to buy all at once. Thx.

[mj]

nice video about this amazing viper; it is good you have changed the lights ( white strobes on the top); do you have the reference of the strobe and the led lights controler? thanks

[Tantrum]

Great flying, thank you.
Have you ever flown the freewing avanti 80mm that you could give a comparison? Seems like I hear different flyers say this is the best flier and others say the avanti is the best.

[ms]

Congratulations for the video and the maneuvers. I bought this model and I am very happy because it flies really well and very stable. It has a big flaw in landing I tried with full flaps: it stall. A first time as in your video, a second a little bit more violent with some damage. Do you have any advice for a good landing for me?
Thanks and greetings from Italy.

U should add a thrust vector nozzle to get even more out of it

[FishHardGetLucky]

Hello!! I’m looking to purchase this jet. Brand new to flying besides some drone flying. Was wondering if I should get the RTF version or if I should get a higher quality radio/receiver. I use Futaba for my offroad race RC’s. I’d appreciate the knowledge! Thanks!!

[henke]

Which of the non delta planes do you recon is the best ultra high alpha performer?! I use similar mixes as you do, but never thought about taking it that far as you do. Need to try it. Flying turbine in the same foamies I don't have any torque issues along with a lighter wingloading :) I remember the Yak 130 90mm could do sort of delta like slow flying

Hi Jon, I have a question, were did you plug the LED's in (RECIVER) not exactly Wich channel?

[alejo]

How much % is the approximated value you use or a range from 0 to 150% generally on your Crow mix on your planes on Ails. and Flaps? And do you mix elevator in crow? A recommended FULL span.
And can you bottom Ails. Up? Or you need some play?

[Bengraziano]

I’d love to see you repair your aircraft the next time you need to. I’m not seeing many good quality videos of foam filler use on YouTube
