Kudos to you, and we can't forget Bobby K. and Captain Mike!

Pilot Ryan, what an inspiration you are. I wager that I'm almost old enough to be your dad and when I was a kid, RC hobbies cost a fortune. I dabbled with some "retired" aircraft purchased from a neighbor who was an expert pattern flyer, but in 1974 a 14 year old kid couldn't afford $400 4 channel transmitters an 80 dollar receivers. Not when wages were $2.50/HR., so I went with model rockets instead.
The EDF bug bit me really hard when I saw your review on the EFlight F-15 ( own one now), then you and Nathan Saylor talked me into buying an Arrows Marlin. Blessings on both of you. Now the addiction is complete, if still in its infancy, but symptoms diverge. Easy flying warbirds? Enter Flight Test. Now we're building a Master Series F4U Corsair. Life is good. But then you had to go and dangle the Arrows 50mm Viper in front of me. Shame on you. Here I sit, with a brand new Viper all set up with the Admiral Rx600sp and Admiral 3S 2200 35c packs. Thank you for your thoughtful, entertaining and informative flight reviews and live streaming vids. You've brought back the kid in me and re-introduced me to a much more affordable and diverse hobby than I could have imagined. Keep on keepin' on!

I upped the esc to a 35amp Mantis esc and run a 1600mAh 4S 70C battery in my Viper. Using an on-board GPS I was able to squeeze in I hit 96mph with mine. Once you run it on a 4S you won't bother with a 3S battery anymore. With a 4S it will pull right out of your hand on launch. Have flown mine numerous times going full throttle and have had no.problems with the motor or esc handling the 4S battery.

Had my maiden with the viper yesterday. It´s so easy to fly and makes so much fun. My first edf btw. Greets from Germany !

This is a great little plane. I bought one a while back and finally got around to flying it Sunday. It is also my first ducted fan jet to ever fly. It absolutely flies like it is on rails and the stability mode works great. One tip, fly full rates in Stability mode or you won't have enough control and will have to make really wide turns.

That is a sick little bird. Definitely going on my wish list. Super fun video guys.

Never fails. The Old Man's want list changes every time I watch your videos. Ryan great flying and Bobby K awesome video. Love you guys. ✈😎💗💗

I like the sound... most small fan models put out a horrible high pitch sound that will run you out of the local park. Good job guys 👍

Just did the maiden on mine with a 2200 as you said, dialled In 40% expo with full rates for the second flight and this thing rips.. you got me hooked bro 👍 I’m all EDF now 🤣

I bought 2 Vipers and an extra fuse. I know you’re busy, but when you find the time could you do a “How to” video on adding a workable rudder and how to crave out the servo pocket? (Hence my ordering the extra fuse and servo for the Viper) I bet there’s a bunch of guys that watch you, Chris at RC GEEK, Brian Phillips and the Boozers who, like me say- “I can add a servo to a vertical stab... nothing to it.”.... and fail.

Definitely a park Flier EDF that you can just keep in your car for those days when you get off work and just wanna fly a little bit 🔥🙌🏾 I have the E-flite Viper and I'm definitely going to add this one to my hangar

Ryan, no doubt, slick line landing!! You created inspiration for yet another RC plane competition type event! Like with R/C STOL planes!! The new challenge is landing EDF's on the line for as long as possible (points per second) and who comes closest to whatever target is on the runway (duct tape circle target maybe...) I can totally see it! I think 'WE' out here in "YT Viewerland" would dig at least one episode where you and Bobby gave that a shot! Best regards brother, Dave

Awesome just ordered one, I saw another user get over 5 mins out of a 1500mah pack I thought your 2200mahs would have gone a lot further now I’m torn between getting 2200 or smaller packs, Great video and flight👍🏻
