sorry but you can turn safe on and off with a assigned switch. the when you are on the ground turn SAFE off to turn. read the Manuel again and assign a switch and don’t forget the sticks go to the inside lower corners to assign a switch.
I love using safe as a back-up, I use to couple it with the retracts, so on when landing and taking off, but I would flip the switch when I had a "oh crap" moment. Saves the airplane in an instant. Settle down, turn safe off and go back to flying.
You can set up a switch to turn safe on and off if you have a 7 channel receiver. With the ax3x receiver you cant unless you do not use flaps and use that channel for safe on/off.
This is awesome for pilots that are afraid to get into the edf jet world! It will open doors for many and that is what the beginner needs. I have been flying since 1991 and have been in the edf world since the beginning and sure wish this was available back when they first surfaced lol. I always say edf jets are a gateway "Drug" to turbines ;) keep up the awesome job guys ✈
Very nice maiden and flying! Looks like a blast and locks in nicely. I'm on the fence between this beautiful Viper 70mm and the EF Habu SS 70mm. I realize the retracts and flaps are apples to oranges here, but there's something about the needle-nose Habu SS 70mm that attracts me.
Hi guys. You missed one vital bit of instruction. You can easily assign SAFE to a switch. After binding in SAFE mode, hold both sticks in the inside corners. Flip the switch you want SAFE assigned to 5 times. Make sure your dual rates are on 100% while doing this. Now SAFE on or off is on that switch.
to do that correctly on this plane you need at least a 7 channel radio, otherwise it can be done with assigning to flaps then safe is on when deplying flaps and off when flaps are up
So you have to do the binding process all over again to take the safe mode off . I heard you saying that you were really getting into the sticks to maneuver it. I still say that the little freewing mig 15 is the best starter jet. Let me explain. It has a really nice damage model. I have crashed mine many times and it still looks and flys as good as the day I bought it from you guys. The panther is also a really good one, if you can master the tricky hand launch. I have a feeling that if that viper smashes the ground that nose is going to disintegrate into pieces. The mig and panther are tuff little bitches and can take the relentless punishment.
Dude! Duuude! Oh man, dude! I raced RC cars for years and at every event, there were at least 3/4 of the people there had the name "dude" If you holler dude, 50 guys turned around and looked. lol As others have said, assign a switch to turn safe on and off. Also, when in safe the flaps work flawless without any mixing.
Gents check manual safe can be assigned to any channel 5-9 and any 2 or 3 position switch on transmitter. Simply hold both sticks down and in and actuate chosen switch 5 times safe no able to be turned on/off anytime even in midflight. I've had safe receivers in my EDF for over a year now so my son can fly them including my freewing Mig 21 f-104 my fly fly F4 Phantom my Dynam 262 excetera excetera excetera
Great video. I want to get an EDF jet and after seeing this I know what to get. I was scared of buying the Horizon F18 o SkU and not able to fly them. Hopefully this Viper will teach to fly and move to other faster planes. Thanks again for the video.
Hello Pilot Ryan. I have an opportunity to get the Viper. I’m able to fly the Valiant, T28, MPD Commander, Cirrus, Advanced Conscendo, Timber, Cherokee, Wildcat, Waco, and the V900. I’m still very nervous when flying my V900 because I have to really watch my bank angles to ensure I don’t over rotate. Do you think I would enjoy flying the Viper? Is the flying experience pure speed like the V900 or is it different?
Thank you so much Pilot Ryan and Capt. Mike. This is really a great info and review for this EDF jet. I have been looking and waiting for a first EDF jet for a long time. I've been flying mostly warbirds and this EDF jet looks like a good first EDF jet. It would be nice to see if you can also turn the SAFE on/off during the flight. Any recommendation for the Lipo batt that is available at MotionRC. Thanks in advance...
Just got mine yesterday it's very limited to get with safe on it. They are back ordered but my shop got one in just to days ago not even on put on the shelf yet.
My previous comment on safe select was incorrect. If you have a dx8 or higher you can select aux 2,3,or4 assign a switch to one of these and then follow procedure to setup that switch,sorry for the miss information
Hi Pilot Ryan , I have just got a Viper Jet i am using a 3300 Lipo for CG what would you say about the position of the Battery Forward or Aft. Hope you can tell me. Thank you.
Adam Hampton we flew 5000 4500 and 4000. You have to trim the bottom of the canopy a little bit. I think 4000 is as heavy as you want to go. We did another video where we showed how to do safe at the field and then flew it with the heavy packs. I think rcjetwerx May have some roaring top batts that are in the 3000-4000 range which I’d say are best.
You have to buy the spektrum module that plugs into the back of your Taranis and go into the menu and turn on ppm for spektrum receivers there are a lot of tutorials that explain how to use it. I have a Taranis coming from the racing quad world. And love all the eflite safe wings and planes.
Yes, it's called Safe-select because it allows you to turn it off and on with a switch. When on, it limits your banking angles, and levels the aircraft should you let go of the sticks. A good way to train new pilots and save experience pilots bacon should they screw up. You can then turn it off and have not limits. I use it as a safety button, save my planes many times as I was learning.
Nice maiden

In my opinion this is the best plane Eflight has ever made for the price; just ahead of the Areo Scout.
I have the safe select set to switch H on my DX9 works great nice flight!
I’ve flown in with a Lectron 5200mah about 2 inches back. Because of the battery weight it really didn’t allow any longer of a flight time.
Awesome work on your aircraft! Great flight demonstration!
That was a Touch Touch touch and stay . Nice looking EDF
Great video guys. On my Dx6e I would assume I could just assign SAFE as a separate switch and combine landing gear and flaps.
Hi guys. You missed one vital bit of instruction.

HIBBIED this guy is correct do this and you can turn it on and off in flight
HIBBIED hey thanks I knew there must be a way. I’ll have Mike make a vid
Looking forward for the next video. Thanks in advance...
to do that correctly on this plane you need at least a 7 channel radio, otherwise it can be done with assigning to flaps then safe is on when deplying flaps and off when flaps are up
We realized it’s possible but not in the manual. We’ll take care of it...
This jet has an amazing speed range.

Nicely done mates! Looks like a winner and a must have for those new to edf

The viper just has cool written all over it.
I have always wanted a rc 70 mm edf plane like the viper

Thinking about buying one..its in my price range....looks fun to fly i have 7 prop planes and i wanna add a edf jet to the collection 👍😉

Go to RC informer he will show you how to get the front wheels to turn by programming your transmitter look at the viper unboxing on his channel.
Good video If I had any advice it would be to be careful, when it does a tip stall You won't see it coming.
Nice flight, i think thats the next what i buy

i fly mine with a 6s 3600 or3800 . seems to work best. when you go to 4000 it seems a little nose heavy and is difficult to find proper cg
also if you set elevator for more deflection, it gives you more movement to slow down better when landing
Michael, Thank you very much....
Just got mine yesterday it's very limited to get with safe on it. They are back ordered but my shop got one in just to days ago not even on put on the shelf yet.
bad65dad nice! I may get one just pnp from my Amazon store, link in description
I can't wait to fly I crash my first jet J10

My previous comment on safe select was incorrect. If you have a dx8 or higher you can select aux 2,3,or4 assign a switch to one of these and then follow procedure to setup that switch,sorry for the miss information
so this is a good jet to get for your first jet you guys saying?
Tony gibson yes
He who built it flew it lol 😂
Put your safe on a switch so u can turn it off & on
Absolutely
Hi Pilot Ryan , I have just got a Viper Jet i am using a 3300 Lipo for CG what would you say about the position of the Battery Forward or Aft. Hope you can tell me. Thank you.
How to calculate cg of plane
Hey guys, I got this for Christmas. What size batteries are y’all flying?
Adam Hampton we flew 5000 4500 and 4000. You have to trim the bottom of the canopy a little bit. I think 4000 is as heavy as you want to go. We did another video where we showed how to do safe at the field and then flew it with the heavy packs. I think rcjetwerx May have some roaring top batts that are in the 3000-4000 range which I’d say are best.
So a 6s 4000mah is what you fellas recommend?
Awesome review, how can I setup a safe mode for this jet using my Fr Sky Taranis Plus 9 channel?
You have to buy the PNP version and get your own gyro and receiver.
@@JustinDDavis , thanks justin, well have to do a little research and see what gyros well work with my 8 channel telemetry recievers........
You have to buy the spektrum module that plugs into the back of your Taranis and go into the menu and turn on ppm for spektrum receivers there are a lot of tutorials that explain how to use it. I have a Taranis coming from the racing quad world. And love all the eflite safe wings and planes.
Is the body (both fuselage, wings) made of foam or balsa wood?
All foam with carbon fiber spars and plastic hardpoints and screwdowns
You can but you need more than 6 channels...
Can I use a 4s 4000mah battery in the Viper?
Yes, absolutely
@@PilotRyanMedia thanks
How is the stall charters with SAFE turned on??? Does it want to fall out of the sky when turning.
Beau vol !
what is safe technolgy exactly? is it the rx
